Maintain temperatures between 18°C - 24°C. Avoid draughts as these can create undesirable temperature fluctuations. Consider giving your plant an occasional misting twice every week to maintain the optimum humidity level.
Provide fertilizer once the first true leaves emerge. The first set of leaves that appear are known as the seed leaves. The second set of leaves are the first ‘true leaves,’ and a sign that your plant is getting mature and ready for serious growth. Dilute a balanced fertilizer to ¼ the strength recommended. Fertilize once in 2 weeks.

Growing green peas is relatively straightforward and rewarding. Here’s a concise guide to sowing and caring for green pea seeds:
Timing and Location: Sow green pea seeds directly outdoors as soon as the soil can be worked in early spring, approximately 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost date. Peas prefer cool weather and can tolerate light frosts. They can also be planted in late summer for a fall harvest.
Soil Preparation: Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Peas thrive in soil with a pH of 6.0-7.5. Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of about 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) and incorporating organic matter like compost to improve fertility and drainage.
Sowing: Sow the seeds 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) deep and about 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Space rows 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) apart. No thinning is required as peas grow best when planted closely together.
Moisture and Temperature: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period, which typically takes 7-14 days. Ideal soil temperature for germination is 40-75°F (4-24°C).
Support: Provide a trellis or support structure for climbing pea varieties. Bush varieties typically don’t need support.
Care: Water regularly, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil evenly moist. Mulch around the plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Peas fix nitrogen in the soil, so they typically don’t need additional fertilization.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure healthy growth and a bountiful harvest of green peas.
