How To Grow California Wonder Pepper From Seed: Bell Peppers do best when grown in pots in a greenhouse, or similar, as they require plenty of heat. Sow in small pots or seedling modules. Sow 1 - 2 seeds per pot/cell. Cover lightly with compost and keep moist. Pepper seed germination will be best if kept at room temperature while germinating. When the seedlings get their first true leaves, pot them on into a larger pot. Repeat this as the plant grows, giving it a bigger pot as it grows.

After the plant flowers, the peppers will start to grow. They will turn from green to orange as they ripen. They can be harvested once they are fully developed, even while still green.
