💡Temperature: Prefers warmer temperatures (70-85F).
🐝 Pollination: Peppers require pollination. Flowers develop 4-6 weeks after sprouting. Remove the first set of flower buds that grow to encourage root and foliage development. When the next flowers appear, hand-pollinate them by gently shaking the entire plant to replicate the effects of wind, or gently disturb the inside of blossoms with your finger or a small brush.
⭕ Support: We suggest using our Plant Belt to support the plant and its heavy fruit as it matures.
✂️ Pruning: These peppers require pruning. Snip away yellow or brown leaves if they appear, and trim branches to ensure the plant stays within the Gardyn’s light. Check the roots monthly and trim any that are brown or extending past the yPod.
🔎 Plant Health: Gardyn peppers are prolific producers, even if they show signs of Edema, a harmless disorder. Aphids are a common pest, but you can use our prevention and treatment tricks to keep pests at bay!
🌶️ Harvest: Sweet Peppers can be harvested when they are firm, they will be about 3 inches long. When leaving them on the plant longer, they will continue to ripen and change color. Harvest by cutting off the plant.
Sweet peppers originated in Mexico with seeds of a wild variety dating back to 5,000 BC. Like many other foods native to this region, Sweet Peppers were carried throughout the world by the Spanish and Portuguese explorers who traveled through the continent.
Sweet Peppers are an excellent source of vitamin C, antioxidants, dietary fiber, and vitamins A, K, and B6.
Sweet Peppers are irreplaceable in certain recipes, like fajitas or stir-frys. They are versatile and easy to work with, too. They can be added to salads to enhance the taste and bring freshness. Add Sweet Peppers to pastas, curries, or soups to add a zing to your plates.
