Growing instructions:
Sow seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost. Keep the soil warm (around 25–30°C) and moist for optimal germination. Once seedlings have developed a few true leaves, transplant them outdoors after the risk of frost has passed. Space plants 30 cm apart to ensure good air circulation. Water regularly and use a balanced fertilizer to encourage strong growth. Harvest the peppers when they are fully red and have reached their mature size.
