These peppers might look small, but they certainly make up for size when it comes to flavor! One bushy plant will give you a non-stop summer crop of literally hundreds of mini, extremely hot peppers. (Capsicum annuum)
| 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).
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.
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.
