Seed Sowing Guide:
Create small holes in the soil, with a gap of 20-25cm between each hole. Place 2 to 3 seeds in each hole and cover with a thin layer of soil. Water the seeds twice a day until after germination.
When the seedlings have 3 to 4 true leaves, thin out excess seedlings (remove weak seedlings or transplant) and keep the strongest seedling for each hole.
Top-dress with Baba 532 organic foliage fertiliser weekly. When the plants grow bigger, use Baba 426 organic fruiting fertiliser. Place the fertiliser in the middle of two plants, cover with soil, and water after fertilisation.
The pods are ready to be harvested when they become full and the sepal of the pods starts to fall off.
Growing Tips:
Thin out excess leaves below the pods to ensure proper ventilation of plants and avoid the dispersion of nutrients.
Snap off the tip of the plant when harvesting. If it’s tough, it means it’s overgrown. You may save the seed to plant in the future.
