Pepper Care
Pepper plants like moist, well-drained, rich soil. They like full sun, excepting late afternoon sun during the hottest weather, which can be damaging to plants. They are NOT frost tolerant, but can be kept for 5-7 years when brought inside annually, before the first freeze. The larger the pot, the larger the plant and higher yield. Pepper plants that are transplanted into pots, with aggressive trimming of the roots and stem, are known as Bonchi pepper plants.
