**Planting Instructions:**
- **Soil Preparation:** Choose well-drained, fertile soil with a pH level of 6.0-7.0. Incorporate compost into the soil to enhance its nutrient content.
- **Planting Time:** Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date in your region. Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.
- **Sowing:** Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in pots or seed trays. Once the seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into your garden or larger containers.
- **Spacing:** Space transplanted seedlings 18-24 inches apart in rows or beds.
- **Sunlight:** Hungarian Sweet Wax peppers thrive in full sun, receiving at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily.
- **Watering:** Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering. Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry.
- **Mulching:** Apply mulch around the base of the plants to retain soil moisture and control weeds.
- **Support:** Consider providing support for your pepper plants as they grow, especially if they become heavy with fruit.
- **Harvesting:** Hungarian Sweet Wax peppers are typically harvested when they reach 6-8 inches in length and have turned a bright yellow or red color, depending on your preference. Use a sharp knife or scissors to cut the peppers from the plant.
