Sowing Instructions
| Sowing time: | early spring. |
|---|
Sow in a good seed compost 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. 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 compost is always evenly moist. Give a weak application of fertiliser as the blossoms open and water well. For continued cropping, pick the fruit as soon as they start to colour and ripen off the plant.
