Cultural practices : seed indoors in March in light potting soil. Transplant into a pot when the seedlings have two pairs of true leaves. Transplant them to the garden, in full sun, as soon as the risk of frost on the ground has passed.

Soil : light, humus-like and fresh.

Spacing : space the plants 30 cm apart in rows 60 cm apart.

Growing tips : water regularly during the flowering period. Fertilize once (1) per month with a fertilizer rich in potassium.

Harvest : peppers are more flavorful and nutritious when harvested when ripe. It is therefore necessary, throughout the season and especially towards the end of summer, to protect the plants from the cold and to ensure that they get the maximum amount of heat. When the frost seems to set in, harvest all the vegetables from the plants, even if they are still green. When picking, never break the peduncle. Always cut with pruning shears.
