Peppers need plenty of time to mature before they will bloom and set fruit. Start indoors six to eight weeks before the last frost date, and grow under bright lights. Transplant only when weather has really warmed up. Night time low temperatures should be consistently above 12C (55F) before hardening off pepper plants and transplanting outdoors. Soil temperature for germination: 25-29C (78-85F). Seeds should sprout in 10 21 days.

Sow indoors 5mm-1cm (-) deep. Keep soil as warm as possible. Seedling heating mats speed germination. Try to keep seedlings at 18-24C (64-75F) in the day, and 16-18C (61-64F) at night. Before they become root-bound, transplant them into 8cm (3) pots. For greatest possible flower set, try to keep them for 4 weeks at night, about 12C (55F). Then transplant them into 15cm (6) pots, bringing them into a warm room at night, about 21C (70F).
