Instrucciones de cuidado
Capsicum baccatum requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It prefers moderate temperatures and high humidity. Water the plant regularly, allowing the soil to dry out partially between waterings. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.Cosecha
Capsicum baccatum, commonly known as Aji peppers, should be harvested when the fruits are fully mature and have reached their final color, which can range from yellow to red depending on the variety. This typically occurs about 120 days after planting. To harvest, use a sharp knife or scissors to cut the peppers from the plant, leaving a small portion of the stem attached to the fruit. It is important to handle the plants gently to avoid damaging the branches. Harvesting should be done in the morning when the temperatures are cooler, and the fruits are firm. Regular harvesting encourages the plant to produce more fruit.Suelo
Capsicum baccatum prefers well-draining loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. The soil should be rich in organic matter to support its nutrient needs. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.Fertilizante
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-10. Fertilize the plant every 2-3 weeks during the growing season to support healthy growth and fruit production.Trasplante
Repot Capsicum baccatum when the plant outgrows its current container, typically every 1-2 years. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, loosen the roots, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.Propagación
Capsicum baccatum can be propagated from seeds. Sow the seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Keep the soil warm and moist until germination. Transplant the seedlings outdoors or into larger pots once they are strong enough.Poda
Prune Capsicum baccatum to encourage bushier growth and to remove any dead or diseased branches. Pruning can also help improve air circulation and light penetration. Perform pruning during the growing season as needed.Toxicidad
Capsicum baccatum is not toxic to pets or humans. However, the peppers can be quite spicy, so handle them with care to avoid skin or eye irritation.Adicional
Capsicum baccatum can be grown both indoors and outdoors. When growing indoors, ensure the plant receives adequate light, either from a sunny window or supplemental grow lights. Regularly check for pests such as aphids and spider mites, and treat as necessary.REVOLUCIONE EL CUIDADO DE SUS PLANTAS
