Some varieties grow well in consistently warm climates with a certain level of humidity, making them suitable for growing in warm climates or greenhouses.

The optimal choice is early varieties, since they are more adaptable to possible temperature fluctuations.

Meeting deadlines

Growing peppers requires careful control over timing.

Planting should be done when the soil temperature reaches at least 16 degrees Celsius. At the same time, the ideal age of seedlings is 70 days.

Selecting the optimal landing site

Pepper is extremely "capricious" when it comes to choosing a planting site. In addition to fertility, the soil must have a neutral pH level. Sufficient lighting is crucial for the normal development of the vegetable.

By carefully following these three fundamental principles, you can increase your chances of getting a bountiful pepper harvest.
