Top Tips
  • Provide support with a small cane or stake if plants grow tall or become top-heavy with peppers.
    Care Information
    • 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.

    Harvesting:

    • Peppers are ready to harvest 60 - 75 days after planting when they reach full size and turn red.
    • You can harvest them green if preferred, but the flavour intensifies as they mature and change colour.
    • Use scissors or a sharp knife to cut the peppers from the plant, leaving a small section of the stem attached.
