PLANT CARE
Shake plants once flowers appear to pollinate.
You can start harvesting peppers when the peppers have turned red after approximately 50-60 days.
Pick the peppers often, as the more you harvest, the more the plant will produce.
Always cut, never pull the fruit from the plant.
Peppers are annual plants, but when kept indoors, they will keep growing fruit longer into the season.
Once the first leaves appear, pick out the largest plant and discard smaller plants by picking them with your fingers or by cutting them at the base.
