Sweet pepper or bell pepper – yellow Ora long seeds (Capsicum annuum)

To start sweet peppers, place them in a seed tray at a temperature of 20°C from mid-March, or you can later move them outdoors under a glass cover. It is advisable to grow young seedlings indoors or under glass and wait until the risk of frost has passed before transplanting them. Sweet peppers thrive in warmer and sheltered areas of the garden, or they can be grown under glass in The Netherlands or similar climates.

We initiate the pepper-growing process indoors or in a greenhouse using a heat mat. Ensure ample light indoors to prevent the plants from growing tall and weak. If possible, consider installing a small computer fan to strengthen the seedlings.
