Capsicums and the closely related chillis are warm season
crops and really need to be left to mid spring before planting in cooler
climates. Although they are technically perennial plants (go dormant in
winter and regrow the following season) they are generally less
productive in successive years and are best replaced each season with
fresh seedlings. There is a wide range of varieties of both chilli's and
capsicums. intensity. Capsicums vary in size and colour with taste
varying in sweetness to a slight peppery taste.
Capsicum grows well in warm temperatures in direct soil but may also be grown indoors as seedlings. They require good watering and frequent fertilizing to ensure healthy produce.
Capsicum is usually associated with the sweet pepper but may also be used to describe hot peppers as well. They grow slowly and sometimes take more than five months until you can harvest them. They require high temperature and are very sensitive to salt. They are initially grown in seed tray and are planted out in a month or so. The ideal soil temperature is between 18 degrees and 35 degrees C. It is usually harvested in 10-12 weeks and may be cut from the plant with a sharp knife.
