California Wonder needs lots of heat to grow and for fruits to ripen. The peppers can be planted as soon as night temperatures reach about 60 degrees. In colder areas, it helps to warm the ground with black mulch material a week or so before planting. Place these peppers in full sun, or a spot that gets at least 6 hours of sun a day. Note that bell peppers do not grow well indoors because they need so much sun and heat. California Wonder Peppers like fertile soil that drains well, so loosen up dirt down to at least 8 inches before planting. Space California Wonder plants at least 18 inches apart. The plants grow to almost 2 feet high. You can grow bell peppers in containers, but the pot needs to be large enough to support the plant. This means about 24 inches around at the mouth of the container and at least 18 inches deep. Use a high-quality potting mix and add some compost to improve nutrients and drainage. Place the container in full sun.
