Growing history & use:
'Salvo' is an orange-colored chili pepper with a mild heat. Suitable for those who like spicy, but not too spicy.
Added to salads, stir-fries, and stews.
Cultivation:
All chili peppers originate from Central and South America. The genus has since spread worldwide with the help of settlers, missionaries, and traders, and new species have arisen through adaptation to the environment.
Chili peppers are generally easy to grow. They thrive in sunny and warm locations. Can be grown indoors on windowsills.
All chili peppers are perennial and can produce fruits year-round if given the right conditions. Warmth, light, mild nourishment, and moisture contribute to continuous growth & production of the plant. If you want the plant to produce fruits also during the winter months, use a grow lamp to supplement sunlight, or possibly grow only under a grow lamp.
Keep the soil evenly moist and allow it to dry slightly between waterings. Fertilize preferably 2-3 times a week to encourage abundant fruit production.
The fruits change from green- (yellow-orange-) to red-colored. The fruits can be eaten at all stages of ripeness. 2-6 cm.
Sowing:
Start indoors early in the year.
Soak the seeds in lukewarm water for 1 day before sowing. Moisten seed soil and press the seeds lightly against the surface. Cover with 1 cm of soil. Place in a bright spot and keep the sowing moist.
