Planting and care

  • Provide deep watering weekly for pepper plants
  • Support bushy, heavy-yielding plants with 2-foot-high cages, or stake them
  • Apply heavy organic mulches when summer heat begins to peak
  • Temperatures over 90 degrees F can cause buds and blossoms to drop; the condition is more serious if humidity is low also

Hot Pepper F1 Hybrid OS care

  • Plan to set out home grown or purchased transplants after the last spring frost date
  • Start plants indoors in flats or pots 8 to 10 weeks before the average last frost date
  • Set hot pepper plants 12 to 15 inches apart, larger bell types 15 to 18 inches apart
  • Provide windbreaks to minimize transplant shock
Sunlight Grows best in a site that receives full sun.
Watering Using a container with multiple drainage holes and well-drained soil combats any form of being waterlogged. This open ecosystem allows excess water to escape from the container while nourishing the pepper plant. Over-watering, the lack of drainage holes and compacted soil contribute to root rot, which causes slow die-back of the entire plant.
Soil Your hot peppers need to have a seed-starting soil mixture that supports their nutrition and hydration needs so that pepper seeds turn into seedlings.
Temperature 60 to 85 degrees C
Fertilizer Peppers are light feeders. If you work 5-10-10 fertilizer into the soil prior to transplanting, that s probably sufficient. You can also side-dress the plants with a light sprinkling of 5-10-10 when blossoming starts, just to give them a boost if needed.
Harvest Season
  • Most peppers, except for a few varieties like Sweet Banana, are green when young.
  • Though bell peppers come in many colours, such as red, yellow, and purple, you can eat any of them in the green stage.
  • However, they are sweeter if you let them ripen until the colour is fully developed.
  • Harvest by cutting through the stem of each fruit with a knife or with pruners. You can have an almost-continuous harvest from your pepper plants by cutting often, as this encourages the plant to keep blossoming, especially in the beginning of the summer.
