Care: Cultivated in a pot, the compact plants overwinter easily. The ideal germination temperature is between 24°C and 30°C. It is therefore recommended to use a greenhouse and heater. The plants need fresh, well-fertilized, draining soil and do not tolerate waterlogging. They should be planted in a sunny, sheltered location with at least 6 hours of sunlight - preferably more.
Since the plants have a particularly long ripening period, it is recommended to grow them in a pot so that you can easily bring the plant indoors when the daytime temperature drops below 12°C and all the fruits can ripen. To keep the plant overwintering, cut it back 20 cm after harvest and put it in a light place where it is at least 15 ° C.
