Pepper is a vegetable that can be grown exclusively from seedlings in the majority of Central European countries. No matter if you wish to grow peppers in the open field or in greenhouses, you have to produce seedlings first. Pepper requires high temperatures, high air and soil humidity. It prefers soil with a neutral reaction that are rich in nutrients and permeable. This warm climate plant requires a site that would be sheltered from wind. Staking is recommended in order to protect the bushes from strong wind and heavy rainfall.

Sow seeds early in spring, in March, onto seeding trays. Place the trays in a sunny, warm situation. As soon as the plants develop 2 to 4 leaves, prick them out into individual pots. The seedlings can be transplanted after 9 to 10 weeks, mid-May to greenhouses and end of the month onto open field. The recommended spacings between the plants is 40 to 60 x 30 to 40 centimetres. Watering, fertilization, trimming, soil aeration and weeding belong to the typical maintenance measures in cultivation of peppers.
