Digestible Yellow Pepper Spartaco F1 - 6 Plants - Orto Mio

Growing Tips

Orto Mio guidelines for the species, to be adapted to the variety, local climate, and cultivation in soil or pots.

Exposure and Temperature

Full sun, with light shading during the hottest summer hours. Favorable temperatures of 16–27 °C; protect transplants from cold.

Soil and Transplanting

Very fertile and well-draining soil, preferably pH 6–7. Raise the beds in clayey soils. Transplant from March, protected, to June depending on the climate; normally 40–50 cm in the row and 100 cm between rows.

Watering

Maintain regular moisture; increase water with heat and production without creating stagnation. Avoid deficiencies during berry swelling. Drip irrigation is recommended.

Fertilization

Incorporate mature organic matter 2–3 weeks before transplanting; continue with split nutrition during the cycle, approximately every three weeks.

Care and Harvesting

Mulch and tie the stem to a stake when it exceeds 30 cm; also support heavy branches. Remove the first fruits until the plant strengthens. Harvest when green or at the mature color of the variety, cutting the peduncle with shears.
