Why Pepper Needs Specialized Nutrients

Pepper plants require specialized nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and micronutrients like calcium and magnesium to support robust growth and fruit development.

Watering

Light

For optimal growth and fruit production, place pepper plants in a sunny spot that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.

Soil

Use well-draining, nutrient-rich soil with a pH of 6.0-6.8 to promote healthy root development and nutrient absorption in pepper plants.

Additional Tips

Protect pepper plants from pests and diseases by practicing good garden hygiene and applying organic pest controls as needed.
