Sowing Instructions

Sowing time:Indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost

Sow in a good seed sowing mix and barely cover the seed. Germination usually takes 8-14 days at 24-27C (75-80F).

Growing Instructions

Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) and finally into 20cm (8in) pots or growbags or outdoors once soil has warmed and night temperatures are above 13C (55F) If growing indoors, aim for a night temperature of between 16-24C (60-75F) otherwise fruit setting may be poor. Likewise keep daytime temperature around 24C (75F) for best results.

Aftercare Instructions

As the flowers form ensure the soil is always evenly moist. Give a weak application of fertilizer as the blossoms open and water well. For continued cropping, pick the fruit as soon as they start to color and ripen off the plant.
