This hybrid performs well in warm climates and responds positively to organic fertilization and regular care.
Key benefits: high fruit quality, uniform color, good shelf life, suitable for container gardening.
Germination Process
Pre-soak seeds in clean water for 4–6 hours to improve germination.
Use a seed tray or small pots filled with fine, well-drained seed-starting mix or cocopeat.
Sow seeds 0.5 cm deep and cover lightly.
Keep tray warm (25–30°C) and maintain consistent moisture (avoid waterlogging).
Expect germination in 7–10 days. Move to brighter light once cotyledons open.
Soil Preparation
Choose well-drained loamy soil rich in organic matter.
Mix in 2–3 kg compost or well-rotted farmyard manure per square meter.
Maintain soil pH around 6.0–7.0.
Ensure good drainage — raise beds or use pots with drainage holes.
Sunlight & Temperature
Requires 5–6 hours of direct sunlight daily for best fruit color and sweetness.
Optimal daytime temperature: 22–30°C. Night temperatures should ideally be above 15°C.
Protect young seedlings from harsh midday sun until established.
Watering Instructions
Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Water deeply once or twice a week depending on weather; increase frequency in hot, dry spells.
Mulch around plants to retain moisture and reduce evaporation.
Planting Process
Transplant seedlings to the main bed when they have 3–4 true leaves (about 4–6 weeks after sowing).
Spacing: 45–60 cm between plants and 60–75 cm between rows for good air circulation.
Plant at same depth as in seedling pot and firm soil gently around roots.
Stake or support plants if heavy fruiting causes bending.
Care & Instruction
Apply balanced organic fertilizer (NPK) or vermicompost every 15–20 days during growing season.
Remove weeds regularly and keep soil loose.
Prune lower yellowing leaves to improve air flow and reduce disease.
Monitor for fruit set and remove small stressed fruits to encourage larger peppers.
Disease & Pest Control
Common pests: aphids, whitefly, fruit borer — control with Neem oil spray or organic insecticide.
Fungal issues (powdery mildew, blight): avoid overhead watering, ensure spacing, use Trichoderma or organic fungicide if needed.
Remove and destroy heavily infected plants/leaves to prevent spread. Rotate crops annually to reduce soil-borne diseases.
Harvesting
First harvest typically begins 60–90 days after transplanting depending on variety and climate.
Pick peppers when fully colored bright red and firm to touch for best flavor.
Regular harvesting encourages continuous fruiting.
