Peppers - Care

[Dynamite]

Hi, can somebody give me some advice about how to care for my Pepper plants. They are California Wonder, in my Greenouse in MFB's and about 9" tall. For instance, I see some side shoots but don't know if you leave them, unlike Toms.

Kind Regards........Rob

Yes, leave the side shoots alone. In fact some people cut off the tops of pepper plants to make them bushier with more side shoots. I don't do that, so I don't know if it makes them produce any more peppers.

I reckon I'm doing the right things then. I've never grown them before. I better get some support ready via bamboo canes.

What should I feed them and when? They are in general purpose Compost.

Weed Tea, Manure Tea?

They are now over a foot. Should I stake them?

Yes I would, they usually need some support when they carry fruit.
