 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.
