3 Things to Remember for Great Pepper Plants

All peppers need three things:

1. Full sun
2. Good Soil
3. Moisture

Full sunlight - Most pepper plants thrive in full sunlight. But remember, they still need protection from scorching caused by evaporation during hot or dry periods.

Soil That Drains Well - As with most garden vegetables, soaking wet roots leads to disease and rot. Use a loose, loamy soil that drains excess moisture away from the roots.

Regular Moisture - Pepper Plants suck up a lot of water, and need to be watered every 3 days or so. Use a good organic mulch to maintain moisture levels during hot or dry periods.
