Growing Tips for New Zealand

Sow seeds indoors in seed-raising mix 8–10 weeks before the last frost (July–September). 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 turn bright red for full heat and flavour.

💡 Grower's tip: Dry surplus chillies by hanging bunches in a warm, airy spot — they make beautiful kitchen decorations and last for months.
