Plant Care & Growing Tips

Cultivating vibrant bell peppers from these organic bell pepper seeds is a straightforward and enjoyable process. Bell peppers thrive in warm conditions, making them a popular choice for outdoor gardens across many climates. To grow bell peppers successfully, start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date in your area. Plant them in small pots with a good quality seed-starting mix, about 1/4 inch deep. Maintain a consistent soil temperature of 75-80°F (24-27°C) for optimal germination. Once seedlings emerge, provide plenty of bright light, either from a south-facing window or under grow lights, to prevent them from becoming leggy. Harden off seedlings for about a week before transplanting them outdoors after all danger of frost has passed.

For outdoor planting, choose a location that receives full sun – at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Bell peppers prefer well-draining soil with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5. Amend heavy clay soils with compost or peat moss to improve drainage and fertility. Space plants 18-24 inches apart in rows, with 2-3 feet between rows. Water thoroughly and consistently, especially during flowering and fruit development. Aim for about 1 inch of water per week, either from rain or irrigation. Avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk of fungal diseases. Fertilize with a balanced organic fertilizer every 3-4 weeks, or use a slow-release granular fertilizer at planting time. Provide support for plants as they grow and bear fruit, using stakes or cages to prevent branches from breaking under the weight of the peppers. These plants are annuals and will produce fruit throughout the warm season.
