Growing Conditions:

For best results, plant these peppers in full sun, choosing a spot with 6 to 8 hours of light daily. Morning sunlight is ideal, helping the plants thrive without exposure to scorching afternoon heat. Ensure the soil is well-draining and enriched with organic matter, maintaining a pH level between 6.0 and 6.8. These conditions promote healthy root development and maximize pepper production.

Care Instructions:

Water regularly, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. Ghost peppers prefer deep watering to encourage root growth but allow the topsoil to dry slightly between waterings. Adding mulch around the base will help retain moisture and keep weeds at bay. Regular fertilization with a balanced fertilizer boosts plant vigor and encourages flowering.
