Growing Tips for Mini Bell Peppers

Sowing:

• Start seeds indoors in February-March at a steady temperature of 23-24°C.

• Maintain a warm, humid environment with sufficient light and regular watering.

• Some varieties require extra warmth to germinate; increase the temperature to 25°C+ if needed.

• Once seedlings have 3-4 true leaves, transplant them into pots and later into the ground after the last frost.

• In cooler regions, greenhouse cultivation is ideal, but outdoor growth is possible in a sunny, well-ventilated location.

Care:

• Use well-draining, nutrient-rich soil, improving fertility with compost or aged manure.

• Water regularly and avoid prolonged dry periods.

• In northern areas, prune the main stem and side shoots to focus energy on fruit production.

• Support taller varieties and fertilize with organic solutions such as nettle manure.

Diseases:

• Powdery mildew is a common issue.

• Preventive measures: crop rotation, careful watering (keep leaves dry), adequate plant spacing, and natural plant strengtheners like nettle manure or seaweed powder.

Harvesting:

• Harvest from July to October, about 5-6 months after sowing.

• Green peppers can be picked early but are ripe when they stop growing.

• Orange and red peppers are ready when fully colored.
