To grow mini capsicum, start with seedlings and ensure proper spacing and sunlight.
Here's a breakdown of the steps involved in successfully growing mini capsicum:
Planting
- Starting with Seedlings: Using baby capsicum seedlings is the recommended approach.
- Timing: If planting directly into the soil, wait until late spring when the soil has warmed up.
- Sowing Seeds (if starting from seed): Sow seeds 6mm deep into damp soil.
- Spacing (In Ground): Space seedlings 35-50cm apart in rows that are 40cm apart.
- Potting (if using pots): Choose a pot that is at least 40cm in diameter.
Location and Environment
- Sunlight: Mini capsicums need a sunny spot.
- Protection: Protect plants from strong winds.
Summary
Growing mini capsicum involves planting seedlings or seeds at the appropriate time and spacing, ensuring ample sunlight, and protecting the plants from strong winds. Proper soil and pot size are also crucial for success.
