Seed-starting Step-by-step guide • Prepare mix: Fill cells with quality seed mix; moisten until damp, not soggy. • Sow seeds: Plant ~6 mm deep, 1 per cell (or 2 and thin). Lightly press surface. • Warm & cover: Place trays on a heat mat, cover with dome, keep 24-30°C. • Keep moist: Mist or bottom-water; avoid water logging. • Light: Set grow lights above trays for 14–16 hrs/day. • Monitor: Check daily for moisture, mold, or damping-off; vent dome briefly. • Germination: 7-21 days. • Transplant: At ~15 cm or several true leaves, move into pots with nutrient rich, well-draining soil. • Aftercare: Reduce humidity, harden off 7–10 days before outdoors. Begin light feeding once roots establish. • Position: 6-8 hours full sun. • Days to Harvest: 80-90 days. Harvest peppers regularly to encourage continuous fruit production and extend the plant’s lifespan. Peppers that ripen to red, orange, or brown are often hotter than green ones. • Water & Feed: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially as the plant matures and fruits begin to develop. Mulch to retain moisture. Once flowers appear, switch to a fertiliser high in potassium to promote fruit development. • Crop Support: Provide stakes for extra support. • Cultivating Difficulty: Moderate.
