Basic tips on how to grow Capsicum
1. Choose a location with well-draining soil and full sun for your capsicum (bell pepper) plants.
2. Start capsicum seeds indoors about 8-10 weeks before the last frost date, and transplant seedlings outdoors once the danger of frost has passed.
3. Provide support for your capsicum plants by staking or using a trellis, as they may need support as they grow.
4. Water your capsicum plants deeply and regularly, making sure not to let the soil dry out completely, and fertilise them with a balanced fertiliser every few weeks during the growing season.
5. Harvest your capsicum fruits when they are fully ripe and have reached their full size and colour, using a sharp knife or pruners to avoid damaging the plant.
