Sowing & Growing
To cultivate Pepper Hot Cayenne Long Slim seeds in the UK, start by choosing the optimal time for sowing. The recommended period is from mid to late March, when the weather begins to warm up, and the risk of frost diminishes. Ensure that the soil is adequately warm for germination, with an ideal temperature ranging between 18 and 21°C. Begin sowing by preparing a seed tray or pot with high-quality seed compost. Sow the seeds thinly, covering them with a light layer of compost. Gently water the seeds and place the tray or pot in a warm, well-lit location, such as a greenhouse or sunny windowsill.
Once the seedlings emerge and develop their first true leaves, thin them out to approximately 5cm (2 inches) apart. Maintain soil moisture without overwatering as the seedlings continue to grow. In the UK, the optimal time to harvest Pepper Hot Cayenne Long Slim peppers is in late summer or early autumn, once the fruits display a vibrant red colour. Harvest the peppers by cutting them off the plant using a sharp knife or scissors.
In summary, successful cultivation of Pepper Hot Cayenne Long Slim seeds in the UK requires a warm and sunny environment, adequate watering, and patience until the harvest season arrives.
