1 Organic Capsicum Yolo Wonder Plant in a 80mm biodegradable peat pot.
This plant is grown from Organic Capsicum Seed, potted in Organic Mineralised Nutrient Rich (Blood bone and fish free (vg)) Soil, Fertilised with Compost (vg), Worm castings (poop) and Kelp Powder (read more about the soil).
The pot reduces plastic waste and transplant shock (I commit to zero waste where I can, everything is recycled or reused or upcycled). There is no transplanting required, plant directly into the soil in its pot.
Plant in compost in full sun.
Plants need staking. Prune plants to two main stems. Keep well watered. Pick when mature to encourage more fruit. To reduce the risk of disease do not water overhead.
Capsicum Yolo Wonder
Capsicum annum
Medium plant growing to 60cm. Has dense foliage that protects fruit from sunburn. Sweet and crisp green bell type fruits that mature to red. Good disease resistance. Capsicum is also known as "Sweet pepper".
Keep well watered. Pick regularly to encourage more fruit. Some plants may need staking. Can be grown in containers. Protect from aphids. Susceptible to mildews.
An improved strain of 'California Wonder' with better disease resistance. Produces lots of blocky, thick-walled Peppers. The fruit turns from dark green to bright red when mature. Makes a great low calorie choice for an afternoon snack. Sweet Peppers add flavor and nutrients to any meal.
