The red Sweet Peppers – ‘Napia’ which are an early variety from Real Seeds, had really put a growth spurt on compared to their sweet pepper neighbours in the cell tray ‘Tangerine Dream’.

At 6 leaves, the red sweet peppers were definitely ready for a larger pot and some fresh compost.

How to Pot On Sweet Pepper seedlings

You will need:

• 9cm diameter pots,

3. Gently lift the seedlings up with soil attached with a pencil or dibber fork.

4. Gently push the seedlings and roots into the hole in the 9cm diameter pots.

5. Cover with more compost.
