Hot peppers
Chili peppers belong to the Capsicum genus and thrive in warm, sunny climates. Thanks to a compound called capsaicin, these plants produce colorful fruits in different shapes and sizes, each with its own level of heat.
Growing chili peppers at home is a fun and highly rewarding experience. Not only do they fill your home with color, but they also put your spice tolerance to the test when it’s time to taste them.
In this kit, you’ll find different varieties of chili peppers to sow, care for, harvest, and enjoy at home.

How to use your kit
Place the soil tablet in a container with water until it expands 4–5 times its size. This usually takes at least 20 minutes to fully hydrate.
Drain excess water and crumble the soil into the pot without compacting it.
Partially bury the seed bombs in the soil inside the pot.
Water regularly, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged, until the seed bombs germinate.
During the first few days, place the pots in indirect light. Depending on the variety, germination takes between 10 and 20 days.
When the second pair of leaves appears, transplant by burying the biodegradable germination pots directly into the soil of the final pot. Follow the specific growing recommendations for each variety.
Caring recommendations for a propper growth
Avoid direct sunlight during the first few days; plants need brightness and indirect light.
Once established, water moderately, avoiding waterlogging.
These plants can be grown both indoors and outdoors.
Use universal potting soil and enrich it with substrate or worm humus.
