This is probably due to the weather we had this spring, as the plants remained small and without peppers. RESPONSE FROM PROMESSE DE FLEURS: We are truly sorry. If you encounter any issues, please do not hesitate to contact us at 03.61.76.08.10 and we will proceed with replacement or refund if necessary. Kind regards.

Description

The Snackor F1 orange pepper is a highly productive hybrid variety, providing pointed peppers, 6 to 8cm (2 to 3in) long. They have a very sweet flavour. It can be grown in a pot. It is a heat-demanding annual that needs rich soil. Plant the plugs in March-April for a harvest in August-October.

 

Peppers belong to the Solanaceae family and are divided into five major species: Capsicum annuum (the most common), C. baccatum, C. chinense, C. frutescens, and C. pubescens. The fruits are initially green and take on their definitive colour during ripening: red, yellow, brown, orange, purple, etc. Their shape varies: square, elongated, semi-long, etc.

Peppers are rich in vitamins and antioxidants.

In terms of cooking, peppers are used in many cuisines around the world and can be cooked in multiple ways. Peppers can be eaten raw or cooked, stuffed, marinated, grilled, in salads, ratatouilles, etc.

They are greedy plants that require rich soil and sun.

Harvest: the harvest takes place from August to October (or from July for some early varieties). Cut the stem with secateurs or a knife.

Storage: peppers can be stored in a refrigerator for several days. They can also be frozen or dried, or even preserved in water or oil once grilled.

Gardener's tip: we recommend mulching the soil with successive layers of clippings, if possible mixed with dead leaves. This protection keeps the soil moist and reduces weeds. You can also opt for a mineral mulch (bricks, slate, etc.) which will help accumulate heat.

Planting and care

These plants require warmth. Plant in open ground in spring, after the last frost

In the meantime, you can pre-cultivate them in pots with a diameter of 8 to 13cm (3 to 5in), filled with compost. Keep them frost-free in a bright, lightly heated room. Water regularly. 

In open ground

Plant in open ground when the soil is sufficiently warmed up and the risk of frost has passed. This is usually around mid-May. Choose a very sunny and sheltered location. Peppers appreciate very rich, light, and well-drained soil. Add well-rotted compost to the soil in the previous autumn.

Space the plants 50cm (20in) apart in all directions. Dig a hole (3 times the volume of the root ball), add well-rotted compost to the bottom of the planting hole. Place your plant with the graft point at ground level and cover with soil. Firmly tamp down and water.

At the beginning of cultivation, place a removable tunnel over the plants to gain a few degrees, especially in cooler regions. Hoe and gently weed as the roots are shallow. Apply mulch.

In a pot

Choose a pot that is at least 30cm (12in) deep. Place a layer of gravel or clay pebbles at the bottom of the pot to facilitate drainage. Fill the pot with a mixture of potting soil and well-rotted compost. Place the root ball and cover with soil. Firmly tamp down and water. Place the pot in the sun. Regularly add compost.

Install stakes. Water regularly at the base of the plants.

It is advisable to pinch the plants, especially in cooler regions. When the plants have 10 to 15 fruits, cut the ends of the stems one leaf above the last fruit.

Plant flowers nearby that will attract pollinating insects.

In terms of rotation, wait 3 years before growing them in the same ground again.
