2. Soil & Temperature: Peppers prefer well-draining, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0). They thrive in warm temperatures of 70-90°F (21-32°C).
3. Watering: Ensure the soil remains consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
4. Trellising: Light staking may be necessary to support the plants as they grow and bear fruit.
5. Harvesting: Harvest peppers when they reach full size and turn orange or red. The peppers will become hotter as they ripen, so pick them at your preferred level of spiciness.
