Capsicums love warmth — use a heat mat if possible to maintain soil temperature of 24–28°C for germination. Transplant seedlings outdoors into a warm, sunny, sheltered spot once all frost risk has passed (October–November). Space plants 45–60 cm apart in rich, well-drained soil. Water consistently and feed with a potassium-rich fertiliser once flowering begins. Harvest when pods have fully turned orange for the sweetest flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e💡 \u003cstrong\u003eGrower's tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Capsicums are heavy feeders — a fortnightly liquid feed once fruiting begins will reward you with a bumper crop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Packet\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach packet contains \u003cstrong\u003e5 seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e of Orange Capsicum (\u003cem\u003eCapsicum annuum\u003c\/em\u003e), with sowing and growing instructions included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chbotanics Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45307215872069,"sku":null,"price":3.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/2974\/5733\/files\/image_df0a07ea-48d8-40cf-ad73-862c54295dbf.png?v=1783400521","url":"https:\/\/chbotanics.co.nz\/products\/capsicum-orange-seeds-capsicum-annuum","provider":"Chbotanics Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
