Green Capsicum, also known as bell pepper or sweet pepper, is a versatile and nutritious vegetable widely used in various cuisines for its crisp texture and mildly sweet flavor. It is rich in vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, making it a healthy addition to salads, stir-fries, pizzas, and stuffed vegetable dishes. Green Capsicum is not only delicious but also enhances the color and nutritional value of meals, making it a staple in many households. Care Instructions for Sowing and Planting
Sowing: Sow Green Capsicum seeds indoors/in shade 6-8 weeks before the last expected date of planting. Use seed trays or small pots filled with a well-draining seed-starting mix. Plant the seeds about 1/4 inch deep, and keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Maintain a temperature of around 25-30°C (77-86°F) for optimal germination, which typically occurs within 7-14 days.
Planting: Once the seedlings have developed 2-3 true leaves and the outdoor temperature is consistently warm (above 20°C or 68°F), transplant them to a sunny location in your garden or large containers. Space the plants 12-18 inches apart in rows that are 24-36 inches apart. Ensure the soil is rich in organic matter and well-drained. Water the plants regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, and provide support as the plants grow taller. Fertilize with a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer every few weeks to promote healthy growth and fruit production.
