Recommended Soil / Potting Mix

50% Bhalu Mitti / Garden Soil + 30% GREEN GARDENS Vermicompost + 20% Cocopeat

Use fertile, loose, organic-rich and well-draining soil.

Maintain consistent soil moisture without allowing waterlogging.

Growing Instructions from Seeds

• Method: Seed tray or nursery sowing preferred

• Sowing Depth: Approximately 5–6 mm

• Germination: 7–14 days under favourable conditions

• Ideal Temperature: 25–30°C

• Plant Spacing: Approximately 40–50 cm

• Watering: Keep the growing medium lightly and consistently moist

Sow seeds in a fine, well-draining seed-starting medium and cover lightly with soil or cocopeat.

Maintain warm temperatures until germination.

Transplant seedlings carefully when they have developed 4–6 true leaves and outdoor temperatures are suitable.

Avoid damaging the roots during transplanting.

Provide support as the plants develop heavier fruits.

Sunlight & Watering

Sunlight: Full sun, preferably 6–8 hours daily during moderate weather.

During extreme summer heat in Lahore, provide light afternoon shade to reduce heat stress and flower drop.

Watering: Water regularly to maintain consistent moisture, particularly during flowering and fruit development.

Avoid prolonged dryness and waterlogging.

Growth & Harvesting

• First Harvest: Approximately 70–90 days after transplanting, depending on conditions

• Harvesting Season: Summer and mild winter under suitable conditions

• Growth Habit: Upright, vigorous and branching

• Fruit Shape: Blocky with 3–4 lobes

• Fruit Colour: Creamy-yellow, with further colour development at full maturity

• Harvested Part: Sweet, fleshy peppers

Harvest fruits when they reach their characteristic size, colour and firmness.

Use clean pruning shears to remove fruits without damaging the branches.

Regular harvesting encourages continued fruit production under favourable conditions.

Feeding

Mix GREEN GARDENS Vermicompost into the growing medium before transplanting.

Apply additional vermicompost during active growth and fruit development as needed.

Maintain balanced nutrition, including adequate potassium and calcium.

Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilization, which may encourage leafy growth at the expense of fruit production.

Flowering & Fruit Development

Soroksari produces small white flowers that develop into attractive, blocky sweet peppers.

Pepper flowers are generally self-fertile, although wind and insect activity may assist pollination.

Excessive summer heat, cold temperatures, irregular watering and nutritional stress may cause flower drop or poor fruit development.

Maintain consistent soil moisture and moderate temperatures whenever possible.

Summer & Winter Care

Summer Care

• Provide morning sunlight and afternoon shade during extreme heat.

• Maintain consistent soil moisture.

• Use mulch to reduce soil temperature fluctuations.

• Ensure adequate ventilation and airflow.

• Support branches carrying heavy fruits.

Winter Care

• Grow plants in a sunny, sheltered location.

• Protect from frost and cold winds.

• Reduce watering during slow-growth periods.

• Use protected cultivation when temperatures become too low.

• Maintain good ventilation in enclosed growing spaces.

Fruit Colour & Quality

Soroksari is particularly valued for its attractive, pale creamy-yellow sweet peppers.

The fruits have thick, fleshy walls and a mild, sweet flavour suitable for both raw consumption and cooking.

As fruits reach advanced maturity, some selections can develop deeper orange to reddish colouring.

For better fruit quality:

• Provide adequate sunlight.

• Maintain regular watering.

• Use balanced nutrition.

• Avoid excessive nitrogen application.

• Support heavily loaded branches.

• Harvest at the desired colour and maturity stage.

Ornamental & Garden Uses

Soroksari is also suitable for:

• Rooftop kitchen gardens

Its compact-to-medium-sized branching growth and attractive pale-yellow fruits make it both productive and ornamental.

Seed Saving

Soroksari is commonly offered as a traditional open-pollinated sweet pepper variety.

Seeds can be collected from fully mature, healthy fruits if the supplied seed lot is confirmed as open-pollinated.

Maintain adequate isolation from other flowering pepper varieties to reduce unintended cross-pollination.

Dry collected seeds thoroughly before storage.
