1+1 Capsicum Red Imported - Seeds

Caring for Capsicum Red Imported

• Soil should be well-drained, but maintain adequate moisture either with mulch or plastic covering.
• Water one to two inches per week, but remember peppers are extremely heat sensitive. If you live in a warm or desert climate, watering everyday may be necessary.
• Fertilize after the first fruit set. Weed carefully around plants.
• If necessary, support plants with cages or stakes to prevent bending.
• Try commercially available cone-shaped wire tomato cages.
• They may not be ideal for tomatoes, but they are just the thing for peppers. For larger fruit, spray the plants with a solution of one tablespoon of Epsom salts in a gallon of water, once when it begins to bloom, and once ten days later.

Harvesting

Capsicum will be ready for harvest about 2 months from planting. Capsicum of hybrid varieties start green and then mature to the their original color. Unlike the Hybrid varieties, the colour of the heirloom Capsicums results from their genetics, and not just the stage of ripeness.
