Instructions d'entretien
Capsicum frutescens requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It thrives in warm temperatures and moderate humidity. Regular watering is necessary, but the soil should be allowed to dry out partially between waterings. This plant can be grown both indoors and outdoors, provided it receives adequate light and warmth.Récolte
Capsicum frutescens, commonly known as chili pepper, should be harvested when the fruits are fully mature and have reached their final color, which can be red, yellow, or orange depending on the variety. Harvesting is typically done by hand, using scissors or pruning shears to cut the fruit from the plant to avoid damaging the branches. It is important to wear gloves during harvest to protect your skin from the capsaicin in the peppers, which can cause irritation. The best time to harvest is in the morning after the dew has dried but before the heat of the day sets in.Sol
