🔖 Care Tips
Sowing seeds takes about 70-90 days to reach the size of commercially available seedlings. Therefore, it's best to sow in early spring. If planting seedlings, do so in late spring. When the first flowers appear, space plants 40-50 cm apart, install supports, and then plant them properly. Once fruits form, they take about 20-30 days to ripen. Harvest them sequentially as they turn red. Regularly check for and remove side shoots immediately, as excessive growth of side shoots can reduce the number of flowers and fruits.
🪨 Soil Mix
It is best to plant in well-draining soil. A common mix ratio is 40% potting soil, 20% bark, 20% leaf mold, 10% perlite, and 10% charcoal. This can vary depending on conditions and environment.
🌡️ Environment
Daytime temperature: 25-27°C, nighttime temperature: 17°C. Growth is poor and fruiting is hindered if temperatures fall below 10°C or rise above 30°C. Humidity: Prefers a humid environment of 60-80%. Ensure good air circulation to prevent pests and diseases in high humidity.
👀 Characteristics details
It is beneficial to install a support when the flower stalk grows tall and is transplanted.
☀️ Light
It is best to grow in a well-lit environment. They thrive in light and are managed during the summer.
💧 Water
Before the plant bears fruit, water it when the surface soil dries out, preferably during the day. Once it bears fruit, keep the soil consistently moist. If the leaves are drooping, it indicates a lack of water, so water the plant.
🌱 Propagate
Side shoots emerge between the stem and branches, and once they grow to a certain extent, they can be separated and propagated through cuttings.
🪴 Repot
Most are grown as annuals and die in winter.
💊 Fertilize
When the fruit begins to set, using fertilizer once while adhering to the recommended amount can promote more vigorous growth.
🌺 Flower
In open fields, yellow flowers usually bloom in summer. To ensure fruiting, artificial pollination is recommended. Use a cotton swab or brush to gently rub the flowers for pollination. If the seedlings are weak, remove the first flowers to prevent nutrients from going to the flowers and instead encourage growth.
