Planting Method Step 1: Timing. Start sowing indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost, or sow outdoors once frost risk is gone. Optimal soil temperature for germination is 20–26°C. Step 2: Site preparation. Choose a sunny spot with fertile, loose, well-drained soil. Mix in compost to boost soil nutrition. Step 3: Sowing. Plant seeds 0.8–1cm deep. Keep 2–3 seeds per hole. Step 4: Water after sowing. Water gently to keep soil consistently moist, avoid soaking. Step 5: Seedling emergence. Seedlings emerge in 7–14 days. Place seedlings in bright light to prevent leggy growth. Step 6: Thinning & transplanting. When seedlings grow 3–4 true leaves, keep the strongest seedling. Space mature plants 40–50cm apart. Step 7: Maintenance. Water regularly, keep soil slightly moist. Add balanced fertilizer during flowering and fruiting. Support heavy fruit-bearing branches with small stakes. Step 8: Harvest. Pick fruits once they fully turn bright orange, around 80–90 days after sowing. Cut fruits off with scissors instead of pulling.
Suitable Climate Orange sweet pepper prefers warm and sunny weather. Ideal growing temperature is 18–28°C. It cannot tolerate frost. Full sun of over 6 hours a day encourages heavy fruiting. It hates waterlogged soil which causes root rot.
