How to Grow
Plant in fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost for steady growth. Water consistently but avoid waterlogging, as peppers prefer balanced moisture. Provide enough spacing for airflow to prevent pest and fungal issues. Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilizer, which can lead to leafy growth instead of fruiting.
Recommended Pot
