Kings Seeds Pepper Chilli Machu Pichu

The elongated, slightly wrinkled chillies have a rich flavour and a fairly mild to medium pungency. The chillies dry well and make an excellent chilli powder, but can equally well be used fresh

Sow                       
February to April     

Plant out
May to June

Harvest
Late July  to October


Where to Sow  
Sow seed on the surface of a free draining compost in pots or trays and cover with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite and place at a temperature 18-21C  until  seeds germinate.                                                     

What to do next 
Prick out seedlings when large enough to handle into 7cm (3in) pots and grow on under glass. Once plants reach 10cm (4in) high transplant into growbags or 25cm (10in) pots and grow on under glass.  Feed once a week with tomato fertiliser once first fruits have set.

Handy Tip  
To help support the weight of the crop it is best to tie plants to  some canes as they grow.
