Plant Care Instructions

• Light: Requires full sun for best growth and fruit production; provide at least 6–8 hours of direct light daily.
• Water: Water thoroughly when the top layer of soil feels dry; keep soil evenly moist but never waterlogged.
• Soil: Prefers rich, well-draining soil amended with organic matter.
• Humidity: Tolerates average outdoor humidity and performs well in warm growing conditions.
• Temperature: Thrives in warm temperatures between 21–29°C and should be protected from cold weather and frost.
• Fertilizer: Feed regularly during the growing season with a balanced vegetable or pepper fertilizer to support flowering and fruiting.
• Maintenance: Harvest peppers carefully with gloves, as the fruit is extremely hot and can irritate skin and eyes.
• Pruning: Pinch early growth lightly to encourage a fuller, more productive plant if desired.
• Repotting: Repot into a larger container as the plant matures to allow strong root development and increased fruit production.
