Like many varieties of sweet bell peppers, Victoria is cultivated by seedling. Seed material is planted in order to obtain seedlings in the last winter month. In a house / apartment, seedlings will take a time interval of 9-10 weeks to ripen. At the end of this period, young bushes will be quite ready to be transferred to the place of further growth. In most regions of Russia, this occurs in the last spring month.

It is advisable to plant Victoria on an open bed or in a greenhouse at a distance of at least half a meter from each other.
