Capsicum Green Seeds Growing conditions for Capsicum (Bell pepper)

Capsicum Green Seeds Choose a location that receives full sun but protection from winds that can break stems. Capsicums perform best in fertile free-draining soil, therefore, enrich the soil beforehand with aged manure, compost, and a certified organic fertilizer.

Capsicum Green Seeds are commonly grown from seed or seedlings but sometimes you will also see small plants available at the nursery. Sow Capsicum seeds in a tray or punnet first and plant out when they are about 10cm tall. Capsicum plants like to be planted into warm soil so in colder areas wait until the last frost has passed before you plant. Water in new plants with eco-seaweed to help them settle in faster and mulch around them.

Light soil mixture

Capsicum Green Seeds are commonly started indoors 8 to 10 weeks before the last spring frost. Starting the Capsicum plants indoors allows you to control the growing environment more closely than in outdoor conditions, and give you hardy seedlings ready for the garden when the danger of spring frost has passed. Capsicum seed germinates best in a light, friable soil. A lightweight soilless medium will provide good drainage. The soilless mix must contain perlite or vermiculite to allow adequate oxygen in the media.
