Sweet pepper "Lamia"

Sweet Pepper "Lamia".
A mid-early, high-yielding variety with beautiful orange fruits.
Characteristics:
* Plant: Height 70–80 cm. Suitable for greenhouses and open ground.
* Fruits: Blocky (cuboid), weight approx. 130 g, wall thickness 6–7 mm. Deep orange when fully ripe.
* Germination: Optimal temp +22...+25°C (sprouts in 14-22 days).
* Use: Universal (fresh salads, canning, stewing).

MASTER CLASS: Pruning and Seed Saving.
1. Bush Formation (Pruning).
When the plant reaches 20-25 cm, remove (top) the tip of the main stem. This stimulates branching.
Pruning Rules:
* Keep the top 4-5 strong shoots (laterals), remove the rest.
* Leave 10-14 fruits per plant.
* Important: Prune in hot weather only if humidity is high. In hot, dry summers, do not prune (leaves protect fruit from sunscald).

2. Pollination.
Deformed fruits are caused by poor pollination. In hot, still weather, perform artificial pollination by gently shaking the plants.
WARNING! Never plant sweet and hot peppers together! They cross-pollinate, making the sweet peppers bitter.

3. How to save your own seeds?
* Select a fully ripe fruit (red, orange, or yellow).
* Cut around the calyx and pull out the core with the seeds attached.
* Dry the core for 3-4 days at +25...+30°C.
* Separate the seeds and store in a paper bag in a dry, warm place (viable for 5-6 years).
