Popular varieties include bell peppers, jalapeños, habaneros, and cayenne peppers.
- Hybrid or heirloom: Capsicum pepper seeds can be either hybrid or heirloom. Hybrid varieties are bred for specific traits such as disease resistance and higher yields, while heirloom varieties are open-pollinated and have been passed down through generations, often prized for their unique flavors and historical significance.
- Pruning and training: Capsicum peppers benefit from regular pruning to remove any dead or diseased leaves and to improve air circulation. Pinching off the first few flowers can encourage the plant to focus on growth and produce more fruit later. Staking or caging may be necessary for taller varieties to support the weight of the fruit.
- Fertilization needs: Capsicum peppers require a balanced fertilizer with equal parts nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (e.g., 10-10-10). Fertilize at planting time and then every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Avoid over-fertilizing with nitrogen, as it can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of fruit production.
- Hardiness zones: Capsicum peppers are typically grown in USDA hardiness zones 9-11. They thrive in warm climates and can be grown as annuals in cooler zones.
- Climate requirements: Capsicum peppers require a warm growing season with temperatures between 70-85°F (21-29°C). They need full sun exposure and well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.8. Peppers are sensitive to frost and should be planted after the last frost date in your area.
