Sweet perennial peppers make a great food in Latin America. They are most popular in Cuba and Puerto Rico, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, and Cuba. Aji dulce can be used to flavor food, and it is a popular ingredient in many traditional dishes. You can make the plant more attractive by placing it next to a wall. Once the plant blooms, you can harvest peppers green or mature. Choosing the latter method gives you a sweeter, more flavorful pepper.
Pots with a diameter of 45cm/18in and a depth of 18 inches are ideal for pepper seeds. Sweet peppers should be watered regularly, but not overwatered. This could cause root problems. Because pepper plants don't thrive in wet soil, it is important to keep the soil moist and not soggy. The soil should be well-draining, and you should water infrequently, but deeply.
Consider their needs when growing pepper plants indoors. Winter indoor light levels can be lower than in summer, which will cause pepper plants to shut down. You should water them lightly, and only after the potting mix has dried. They will also be happier if they are placed in a conservatory due to the lower light levels. For the best results, make sure the potting mix is almost dry before watering.
Your pepper plants will be more sensitive to light and temperature changes once you start to feed them. One month after sowing the seeds in the spring, you can expect to see your first fruits. Your first fruits should appear within a few weeks of sowing. Sweet perennial peppers can be grown in a winter climate. The plant will then shut down. A conservatory is an excellent place for your pepper plants. Be sure to drain it completely from the base.
After the plants have completed flowering, you can pot them again into a container. The ideal size pot for pepper plants is 45cm/18in. They will need more space to spread out in a container of 30cm/1ft. They need to be spaced between pepper plants in order to produce the best fruit.
For sweet perennial peppers, space should be allowed between the plants to allow for air circulation. The best rule of thumb is to keep at least 30cm/1ft space between plants. You need to give the plant enough space to grow. It is important to ensure that the soil in the container you are planting your plant in is neutral. It will slow down if it is too acidic.
