Description
The bushy-growing Siberian Indoor Pepper barely reaches over 50cm and cuts a fine figure on a sunny windowsill. It does equally as well outside. The variety originates from Siberia and, therefore, tolerates bad light conditions in winter. The overly numerous chili fruits are thick-walled and their spiciness can be compared to cayenne. The flavour is fruity, slightly smoky. The fruits turn ripe approx. from August and can be harvested until October.

Sowing and care
- Sowing period: Indoors mid-February/ at the end of March, resp. 8-10 weeks before the last frosts
- Ideal germination temperature: +25-28°C, a light and warm location is absolutely necessary
- Germination period: Up to 2 weeks. After germination, put the plants in a cool place at approx. +20°C again
- 2-3 weeks after sowing, prick the plants when the first pair of leaves has fully developed. Thereby, the roots should be pruned to stimulate the healthy growth of the roots.
- Plant outdoors from mid-May to the beginning of June after the last night frosts. Before, the plants should be tempered for some days. Don't forget to water the plants after transplanting.
- Peppers need well-loosened, permeable soils with high humus content. They don't need waterlogging but also never like to fully dry out.
- Pepper plants love warmth and prosper best in a greenhouse. That doesn't mean that it's impossible to let it grow outside. However, choose the warmest and most protected location in your garden to cultivate peppers or think of a protection fleece if needed.
- Peppers are heavy feeders. They need a sufficiently good fertilizer and, indeed, very much water

Leider ist allen Bemühungen zum Trotz kein einziger Samen aufgegangen. Auch das mir erneut zu gesannte Saatgut hat keinen Mucks gemacht. Schade.

Leider ist kein einziger Samen gekeimt, obwohl wirklich alles erdenkliche getan und ausprobiert wurde.
Habe auf Anfrage beim Kundenservice, wo denn der Fehler liegen könnte, neue Samen geschickt bekommen. Aus denen ist leider auch nichts geworden (selbes Abfülldatum).
Schade drum.
