• Begin green
• Develop yellow colour as they mature
• Have a sweet to mild flavour

• Plant height

unless confirmed for the particular seed lot.

Exact fruit shape, sweetness, maturity and plant habit may vary according to seed strain, climate and crop management.

Recommended Grow Bags

G-11 Grow Bag – 11 × 10 inch 🔗

Recommended for one Romanian Giallo plant.

G-12 Grow Bag – 12 × 12 inch 🔗

Provides additional root space and moisture stability for vigorous growth.

G-15 P Grow Bag – 15 × 14 inch 🔗

Suitable for larger plants or where a longer cropping period is desired.

For normal home cultivation:

G-11 or G-12

is a practical choice for one mature pepper plant.

Recommended Soil / Potting Mix

Use fertile, loose and well-drained soil rich in organic matter.

A practical GREEN GARDENS mix can be:

50% Bhalu Mitti (Sandy Soil) + 50% Vermicompost 🔗

Romanian Giallo prefers:

• Fertile soil
• Loose structure
• Good drainage
• Consistent moisture
• Good organic matter
• Good root aeration

An approximate soil pH of:

6.0–7.0

is suitable.

Avoid continuously waterlogged soil.

Growing Instructions from Seeds

1. Seed Sowing

Start seeds in:

• Seed trays
• Nursery pots
• Small containers

Sow approximately:

0.5–1 cm deep

Cover lightly with fine soil.

Water gently after sowing.

Keep the growing medium warm and consistently moist.

2. Germination

Seeds generally germinate within:

7–14 days

under suitable warm conditions.

Maintain approximately:

20°C–30°C

for reliable germination.

Cool soil may significantly delay germination.

3. Seedling Care

After germination, provide:

• Bright light
• Good airflow
• Warm conditions
• Moderate watering

Avoid keeping seedlings continuously wet.

Gradually expose seedlings to stronger sunlight as they develop.

4. Transplanting

Transplant seedlings when they have approximately:

4–6 true leaves

and are strong enough to handle.

Move them into:

• Pots
• Grow bags
• Raised beds
• Open soil

Water immediately after transplanting.

5. Sunlight

Provide:

6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily

Good sunlight supports:

• Strong plant growth
• Flower production
• Fruit setting
• Better fruit size
• Golden-yellow ripening

Avoid deep shade.

6. Plant Spacing

Maintain approximately:

35–45 cm between plants

when growing in beds or open soil.

For container cultivation:

One plant per G-11 or G-12 Grow Bag

is recommended.

Adequate spacing improves airflow and reduces overcrowding.

7. Watering

Maintain consistent moisture during:

• Establishment
• Flowering
• Fruit setting
• Fruit enlargement

Allow the upper soil surface to begin drying slightly before watering again.

Avoid:

• Severe drought
• Repeated wilting
• Standing water
• Permanently saturated soil

Consistent moisture helps improve fruit quality.

8. Feeding

Before transplanting, incorporate GREEN GARDENS Vermicompost 🔗.

Provide balanced nutrition during active growth.

Once flowering begins, avoid excessive nitrogen because too much nitrogen may encourage:

• Excessive foliage
• Fewer flowers
• Reduced fruit production

9. Pinching & Pruning

Young plants may be lightly pinched if necessary to encourage:

• Bushier growth
• More side branches
• Better plant structure

Avoid aggressive pruning.

Remove only:

• Weak branches
• Damaged leaves
• Diseased growth

where necessary.

10. Flowering & Pollination

Romanian Giallo produces typical pepper flowers that are generally:

Self-pollinating

Good fruit set is encouraged by:

• Warm temperatures
• Full sunlight
• Consistent watering
• Balanced fertility

Extreme heat or cold can temporarily reduce flower set.

11. Fruit Development

Young fruits generally begin:

Green

and gradually develop their mature yellow colour.

Maintain stable moisture while fruits enlarge.

Allow fruits to remain on the plant longer when a deeper golden-yellow colour is desired.

12. Plant Support

Fruit-bearing branches may benefit from:

• Bamboo stakes
• Small plant supports
• Soft garden ties

Support is particularly useful when plants carry several fruits or are grown on exposed rooftops.

13. Pest & Disease Care

Inspect plants regularly for:

• Aphids
• Whiteflies
• Thrips
• Spider mites
• Fruit borers
• Leaf miners
• Caterpillars
• Leaf spots
• Powdery mildew
• Root rot
• Viral symptoms

Maintain:

• Good airflow
• Proper spacing
• Good drainage
• Clean growing conditions

14. Green Fruit Harvest

Fruits may be harvested when they are:

Fully developed but still green

for fresh cooking or pickling.

Use clean scissors or pruning snips rather than pulling fruits from the plant.

15. Golden Yellow Harvest

For maximum mature colour, allow fruits to develop:

Bright golden-yellow colour

before harvesting.

Mature fruits are especially attractive for:

• Salads
• Stuffing
• Roasting
• Grilling
• Garnishing

Regular harvesting can encourage continued flowering and fruit production.
