Kitchen Minis™ Fresh Bites Orange Pepper Care

This potted plant can be planted outdoors, although the compact size makes this a great option for a container to feature on a patio or as a houseplant. The plant can be placed outdoors in full sun to partial shade after the temperatures are consistently above 55 degrees. Soil should be rich, loamy, and have a neutral pH.

Growing Kitchen Minis™ Fresh Bites Orange Pepper

Peppers will be ready to harvest in 60 to 90 days. While this plant can handle full to partial sun, too little sun may stunt or slow the growth. When grown indoors, place the plant in a sunny window.

Growing in containers

The Kitchen Minis™ Fresh Bites Orange Pepper is a perfect container plant. Plant in a 6- to 8-inch wide container with drainage.

Watering Kitchen Minis™ Fresh Bites Orange Pepper

Water when the top several inches of soil is dry to the touch. Drench the soil until water drains through the pot.

Feeding Kitchen Minis™ Fresh Bites Orange Pepper

Apply a balanced fertilizer in the spring and reapply food once every 2 to 3 weeks. Potted plants benefit from more frequent feedings since they are watered more often.
