Growing

Grow under glass in free-draining compost, with good light and humidity, and keep temperature above 15ºC, and water little and often to keep compost moisture even; peppers will do best under glass, but can also be grown outside from early summer after all danger of frost has passed, in fertile, well-drained but moisture-retentive, slightly acidic soil, in a warm, sunny, sheltered position; once the first fruit has set, feed plants once a week with a high-potassium liquid fertilizer; harvest fruits from late summer to early autumn; for more advice, see pepper cultivation
