(Capsicum annum)

The red chili rocket!

Interesting facts: This easy-to-grow variety produces purple-red pods between 12-15 cm long. The taste is fiery hot. The pods of the red rocket need 60-65 days to turn green and a total of 80-85 days to ripen to full red and can be harvested.

The chili peppers dry very well and taste quite fiery with a spiciness level of 7. They are ideal for use in stews or for chili oil.

Before sowing, moisten the soil, sprinkle seeds on top, cover very thinly and press down lightly. At 20°-26°C, the seeds germinate after 8-14 days.

Give the young plants suitable fertilizer at the beginning of May. Special tomato and pepper fertilizer has a long-term effect and can be easily worked into the soil. The location should be bright to sunny and warm. Water generously. At night the temperature should not fall below 16°C.

Pepper plants always look neat and become even more beautiful when the fruits turn from green to red in late summer/early autumn or decorate the balcony or terrace in yellow or dark purple. Then the harvest takes place and you can use this healthy vegetable in a variety of ways. Enjoy your meal!
