Galaxy Tricolor F1 Pepper Seeds – Edible Patio Plant for Pots & Small Spaces
Capsicum annuum
- Compact and upright pepper plant, ideal for pots and small spaces
- Decorative tricolor fruits: cream, yellow, orange, and red all on the same plant
- Heat varies by color: red (mild), yellow (spicy), orange (hot)
- Plant size about 20–25 cm (8–10″) tall and wide
- Grows well in small pots (12–15 cm / 5–6″)
- Harvest ready in about 10–14 weeks
- Perfect for balconies, patios, or indoor decoration
THIN
- Sow one seed per cell. If two emerge, snip weaker seedlings at soil level.
PLANT OUT
- Transplant after 21–28 days, once seedlings have a strong root ball and short internodes.
- Plant into 9–15 cm pots (optimal: 12 cm / 4–5”).
- Outdoors: use containers with good drainage; 3 plants fit well in an 8” container.
EXPOSURE
- Prefers full sun or bright indoor light.
- Can tolerate lower light than many peppers—suitable for windowsills, balconies, or patios.
TEMPERATURE
- Ideal: 21–25 °C (70–77 °F).
- Minimum: 16 °C (61 °F).
- Maximum: 35 °C (95 °F) – higher temperatures speed growth but may cause stretching.
- Avoid frost (<5 °C / 40 °F will damage plants).
SUPPORT
- Place 2 small sticks beside the central stem if fruits cause the plant to lean.
PRUNING
- No pruning required. Compact, upright growth habit.
WATER
- Keep soil consistently moist, never waterlogged.
- Avoid letting the soil dry completely; peppers stop growing under drought stress.
FEED
- Fertilize with a balanced formula (e.g., NPK 15-10-15 + micros) at ~2.5 EC with each watering.
- As plants mature, a slightly higher EC (up to 4–5) encourages fruiting and reduces stretching.
- Signs of low nutrients: yellowing leaves when fruits are ripening.
PROTECT
- Encourage pollination (bees, bumblebees, or hand-shaking flowers) for bigger fruits.
- Protect from temperatures below 10 °C and from frost.
- Strengthen plants by occasional foliar sprays with magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts) or potassium solutions.
- Ensure good air circulation indoors to prevent fungal issues.
- First fruits appear around 70–85 days from transplanting (10–12 weeks).
- Fruits ripen successively, changing from cream → yellow → orange → red.
- Flavor & Heat:
Red – mild (≈2,500 Scoville)
Yellow – spicy (≈25,000 Scoville)
Orange – hot (≈40,000 Scoville)
- Harvest regularly to encourage continuous fruiting.
- Fruits weigh 15–25 g each, perfect for snacking or ornamental use.
Let customers speak for us
We grow several varieties of various colours of tomatoes, and the contrast of these tomatoes with other colours is fantastic. We've had a very long season with our plants, excellent disease resistance, great flavour.
This review applies to all of the seeds I purchased from Hortinova - beautiful tomatoes, good disease resistance and excellent production. Our field season extended to 10 weeks. We've had comments of excellent flavour from our customers as well, highly recommend any Hortinova seed.
This tomato is good taste tomato. Small red round tomato. Bigger then cherry tomatoes but smaller then regular one. I like it. Perfect for salads and fresh eating. Ordered seeds for next season.
2nd time ordering. Very satisfied with qualify and result. Thank you
BALCONY YELLOW F1 - Hybrid Cherry Tomato Seeds
Delivered very fast, packed very good, in professional condition and quality. Thanks
We will see what they are like this summer.
Type crimson de bonne grosseur avec une superbe uniformité et très hâtif. Un des premiers prêt en saison. Semences très petites et peu nombreuses. Goût très sucré et chaire croquante. Chair passant du rose au rouge en cours de saison. Les plants sont forts et très vigoureux avec des grosses feuilles.
Vigueur des plants impressionante avec des fruits résistants aux fissures et aux dommages. Très bonne conservartion et goût très sucré lorsque les nervures deviennent orange. Peu être récolté lorsque les nervures sont vertes également. Cavité des semences très compacte et petite laissant beaucoup de chair.
Melon qui fond en boûche avec un goût se rapprochant du melon miel et du cantaloup à la fois, très sucré. Faire attention aux irriguations lorsque le melon devient mature car il peut fendre au champs. Très odorant.
Avec son apparence côtellée, son très gros calibre et ça couleur rose, cette tomate se démarque des autres sur les tablettes. Variété plus résistante à la pourriture apicale que la plus part des autres tomates roses. Bon ensemble de résitance aux maladies également.
Tomate noire dont les faces qui ne sont pas exposé au soleil passent du vert au rouge lorsque mature donnant un aspect unique aux fruits. Charactéristiques similaires à la Barrio avec un goût superbe sans acide. Les clients l'on adoré.
Superbe adaptabilité et excellente résistance aux maladies. Fruits uniformes qui ne fendent pas, bonne conservation. Ajoutez à cela un goût unique avec une légère acidité et une pointe sucré.
