Planting Guide

Choose the right location
Peppers love the sun and require a good 6 to 8 hours of it. They need well-drained soil that's rich in organic matter, with a pH around 6.2 to 7.0. Regular watering is important, but be careful not to overwater as peppers are sensitive to waterlogging. A slow-release fertilizer applied at the time of planting and a little extra when the fruit sets can go a long way. Stake taller varieties or those with heavy fruit. Watch for pests like aphids and treat them early.
Prepare an appropriate hole
Choose a pot that is 1-2 times larger than the current pot, ensuring there is adequent drainage to prevent waterlogging roots. Plan on repotting every 3-5 years.
Use fertile soil
Choose soil rich in nutrients and with good drainage to support root growth.
Plant at the correct depth
Plant at the same depth as in the pot, keeping the top of the root ball level with the soil.
Care and watering
Water the plant appropriately, keeping the soil moist but not too wet.
