Care Information
Planting Advice for Tumbling Tomatoes:
- Once the plants are 10cm tall, they can be planted in the hanging basket or container, ideally using 1 plant for a 25cm basket or 3 in a 35cm basket.
- Tomatoes can be planted up into their containers from April onwards, and grown on for a couple of weeks before placing outside after hardening off. Cover plants with horticultural fleece on any unexpectedly cold nights.
- Fill containers to within 2-3cm (about 1in) of the rim with moist compost – growing bag compost or our own professional compost is ideal.
- Bury the roots deeply (up to first ?seed? leaves on the stem) and water well, to settle the compost around them.
- Place the containers in a sunny sheltered spot.
Planting Advice for Capsicum Beluga Red:
- Keep you pepper plants in a frost free place until the chance of frost has passed.
- Transplant to a larger pot and move to the final growing position in a warm, sunny spot.
- If planting in the ground, plant 60cm (2ft) apart in well prepared, free draining soil.
- Add support, such as a bamboo cane to each plant, as they will become heavy as the peppers form.
Planting Advice for Hot Burrito:
- Keep your chilli plants in a frost free place until the chance of frost has passed.
- Transplant to a larger pot and move to the final growing position in a warm, sunny spot.
- As the plants begin to fruit, remove some of the lower leaves to allow sunlight to reach the chillis. As more form, remove leaves further up the plant.
