• Humidity: Tolerates average outdoor humidity and warm seasonal environments.
• Temperature: Thrives in warm conditions between 22–30°C and should be protected from cold temperatures and frost.
• Fertilizer: Feed regularly with a balanced vegetable fertilizer during the growing season to support fruit production.
• Maintenance: Use gloves when handling or harvesting peppers, as the fruit is extremely hot and may cause skin irritation.
