Cultivation:
All chili peppers originate from Central and South America. The genus has since been spread with the help of colonists, missionaries and traders worldwide and new species have emerged through adaptation to the environment.
Chili peppers are generally easy to grow. They thrive in sunny and warm locations. Can be grown indoors in a window.
All chili peppers are perennial and can produce fruit all year round if given the right conditions. Heat, light, light nutrition and moisture contribute to a continuous growth & production of the plant. If you want the plant to produce fruit even during the winter months, use a plant lamp to supplement the sunlight, possibly grow only under a plant lamp.
Keep the soil evenly moist and let the soil dry out slightly between waterings. Fertilize with advantage 2-3 times a week to provide abundant fruit production.
The fruits range from green (yellow-orange) to red. The fruits can be eaten at any stage of maturity. 2-6 cm.
