🌾 Growing & Agrotechnics

• Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date, at a depth of 0.5-1 cm, and a temperature of 20-25°C. Transplant seedlings outside when they have 2-3 sets of leaves, in well-draining soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0.
• Germination takes around 7-14 days, and the plants are ready to harvest in 70-90 days.
• Water the plants regularly, but avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer once a month.
• Chilli peppers are sensitive to frost, so make sure to protect them from frost damage. They prefer full sun and well-draining soil.
• USDA Hardiness Zone: 4-10, Frost tolerance: -1°C to 1°C.
