Growing instructions:
Sow seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost, keeping the soil warm (around 25–30°C) and moist for the best germination. Once seedlings have developed a few sets of leaves, transplant them outdoors after the last frost. Space plants 40–50 cm apart. Regular watering and feeding with a balanced fertilizer will promote strong growth. Harvest the peppers when they are fully ripe, and either use them fresh or dry them for later use in powder form.
