Pepper 'Cayenne'

• Plant plug plants indoors or in a greenhouse from late winter to early spring.
• Move outdoors after the last frost, typically in late spring or early summer.
• Peppers thrive in a warm, sunny location with 6 - 8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• A sheltered spot protected from strong winds is ideal.
• Use a light, well-draining soil enriched with organic compost or a multi-purpose potting mix.
• Plant each plug 30 - 40cm apart in rows or containers.
• Plant so the root ball is just below the soil surface. Avoid burying the stem. Firm the soil gently around the plant and water well after planting.
• For containers, choose pots at least 30cm in diameter with good drainage.
• Fill with high-quality compost and follow the same planting instructions.

Ongoing Care:

• Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply 1 - 2 times a week, increasing during hot, dry spells.
• Use a high-potash fertiliser, like tomato feed, every two weeks once flowers start to form. This encourages healthy development.
• Pinch out the growing tips when the plant is about 30cm tall to encourage bushier growth.
• Remove any side shoots if the plant becomes overcrowded.
