Transplant: Transplant early morning or late afternoon to avoid sun

stress. Water the seedling a few hours before transplanting. This

reduces shock and makes it easier to move. Dig a small hole in the

soil in your grow bag place the seedling in and gently firm the soil

around the base. Give it a good soak right after transplanting for at

least 2 days placed in filtered light to reduce transplant shock.

Sun: At least 6 hours a day with afternoon shade.

Water: Keep soil moist and not soggy allow soil to dry slightly in

between waterings. Water slowly and fully drench the soil with

water DO NOT surface water. With this method you can water 3

times a week. Bottom water only avoid getting water on leaves.

Space: If placed in grow bags 7-10 gallon is great. The smallest will be 5 gallons but remember the smaller the space the smaller the root

system the less fruit.

Soil: Well-draining soil with compost or fertilizer

Fertilizer: During the growing stages high nitrogen is recommended

but when flowers begin to form you can switch to high phosphorus

and potassium. During the flowering period banana tea can be used

for similar results. Bonus tip when pepper plant begins to flower

remove the flowers at least two times this helps the plant become

stronger to accommodate the fruit.

Pruning: Trim lower leaves especially ones that touch the soil. This

improves airflow and prevent disease.

Harvesting: After transplanting harvest should be expected 70 days

give or take 2 weeks. Pick when peppers turn bright red. Harvest

regularly to keep the plant producing more fruit. Bonus tip use

scissors or garden shears to cut peppers, pulling them can damage

the plant.
