Growing Pepper Pots™ Sugar Kick™ Sweet Pepper
Plant this pepper outdoors after there is no longer a chance of frost. The Pepper Pots™ Sugar Kick™ Sweet Pepper needs at least 6 hours of sunlight each day to set buds and produce peppers. Peppers are green after 54 days and will turn a deep, vibrant orange after 74 days.
Grow 1 to 2 Pepper Pots™ Sugar Kick™ Sweet Pepper plants in a 12-inch container. Plants in containers need full sun and regular watering when the top couple inches of soil are dry.
Watering Pepper Pots™ Sugar Kick™ Sweet Pepper
Water pepper plants when the top few inches of soil are dry. Plants may need water daily, depending on the amount of rainfall. Saturate the soil when watering.
Feeding Pepper Pots™ Sugar Kick™ Sweet Pepper
Pepper plants thrive in rich soil, so amend poor soils with organic mulch or compost when planting. Apply a fertilizer formulated for veggies every four weeks starting in the spring. Regular applications of fertilizer support growth and help the plants set flowers and grow fruit.
