Growing Tips

• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, especially in dry periods.
• Mulching: Helps retain moisture and control weeds.
• Shading: Provide shade if plants begin to wilt under intense summer sun.
• Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer high in phosphorus for optimal fruit production, as excess nitrogen may lead to more foliage.

Harvesting

• Harvest: For sweeter peppers, allow them to mature and turn red. Green peppers can be picked earlier to encourage more production.
• Method: Use a knife or scissors to cut peppers, leaving some stem attached.
