Yellow Capsicum Seeds (30)

WA Grown & Organically Fed. Color and Flavor: Unlike some vegetables, yellow capsicums do not ripen or develop their full sweetness once picked off the vine. Waiting until the skin is solid yellow ensures the best flavor, crispness, and vitamin content. Timing: Plants are typically ready for harvest around 10 to 12 weeks after planting, though colored stages take a bit longer to transition from green How to Pick: Use clean secateurs, shears, or a knife to cut the stem cleanly just above the fruit. Avoid pulling or yanking the pepper by hand, as this can snap the delicate branches and damage the plant. Pest Check: In Australian gardens, keep an eye out for fruit fly. Promptly harvest ripe fruit and dispose of any fallen or infested capsicums properly. 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 25–30°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: 10-20 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: 75-90 days. Harvest Cherry Bomb peppers when they are bright red. • Water & Feed: Keep evenly moist, watering when top 2-3 inches dries. An all-purpose vegetable fertiliser can be used every 2-3 weeks to keep plants healthy. • Cultivating Difficulty: Easy. Providing a sunny location, ensuring good soil drainage, and maintaining consistent moisture, though allowing for dry and wet cycles can be beneficial. Add to Wishlist Add to Wishlist
