Capsicum annum - Garnet F1

A perennial plant originally from Mexico. In cultivation, it is grown as an annual and can reach a height of 0.5–1.5 m. It has alternately arranged lanceolate leaves. The flowers are white and five-petaled. The fruit is a pod, whose natural color is red. Three thousand varieties of peppers are cultivated, both sweet and hot. The heat is caused by the alkaloid capsaicin. Initially, it was grown as an ornamental plant. Its use as a spice or vegetable came later. Today, two main types of peppers are primarily used. The first is the annual pepper (Capsicum annuum). Another pepper widely used for spice production are varieties of the species Capsicum frutescens, known as chili. In general, peppers are divided into six groups: cone-shaped peppers (Hungarian type), square peppers, apple peppers, kapias, bull's and ram's horns, and spice or chili peppers.

Peppers contain plenty of potassium, phosphorus, and sodium and are, among other things, a significant source of vitamin C, U, and carotene. Vegetable varieties are used fresh, in salads, or in cold and hot cuisine. Spice varieties are an excellent piquant seasoning! Peppers have wide uses, they can be heat-treated, eaten cold, are suitable for preparing salads, Asian dishes, or for pickling. They are an excellent supplement for diets.

How to Grow Peppers

  • Requires a warm, sunny, sheltered location. The optimal temperature range during the growing season is 18–23°C. Temperatures below 14°C and above 30°C are extreme and do not suit peppers. We plant peppers 2 next to each other. It is advisable to tie peppers continuously. Ideal is to attach the plant to a leading stake both at the lower part of the plant and at the upper part. Regular watering and weeding around the plants are important. Under no circumstances should we water or spray in direct sunlight, as this would burn them. In a polytunnel or greenhouse, peppers will also grow much faster, mainly due to temperature and humidity. We regularly check peppers to see if they are infested by pests or showing signs of physiological or fungal diseases.

  • We sow peppers from January at the latest until the end of March. To make sowing easier, we can plant them in peat jiffies. If we choose to plant in substrate, it should contain perlite mixed in a suitable ratio with nutrient-rich soil. We can therefore use special sowing substrate mixed with perlite or sand. We plant seeds approximately 1 cm deep. We treat sown seeds with Previcur, thus ensuring protection against damping-off of seedlings. The temperature must be around 25 degrees Celsius. Air humidity should not change for proper seedling growth. Seedlings need plenty of light to prevent stretching. When at least two leaves appear on the small plants, it's time to transplant them into a pot. We transplant plants with root balls to their permanent location at a spacing of 60–70 cm x 25–40 cm.

  • Peppers require humus-rich, nutritious soil with sufficient available soil water and pH in the range of 6.5–7.5.

  • Basic fertilization involves incorporating mature cow manure or compost into the soil where we will plant peppers. We perform this fertilization in autumn. In autumn, we also lime the area with a dose of approximately 3.6 kg/m2 of ground limestone or 2 kg/m2 depending on the soil at the site. Before planting, it is advisable to incorporate 50–70 g/m2 of NPK fertilizer with a higher nitrogen content into the soil. During the growing season, we then apply water-soluble NPK fertilizer - Cererit, Kristalon. It is important that the water-soluble fertilizer also contains micronutrients! We apply fertilizer every 14 days.

  • Peppers are often attacked by sucking pests such as aphids, whiteflies, or spider mites. For protection, we can use Mospilan, Decis Mega, or Symfonie from Natura.

    In high air humidity, fruits can be attacked by molds and fungi. The most well-known fungal diseases are gray and white rot. Ortiva is a suitable preparation for protection against these fungal diseases.

    Bacterial spot on pepper plants is dangerous. Necrotic fruits affected by this spot usually crack and are destroyed. Various colored spots, especially on fruits, are caused by a bacterial disease called bronzing. When plants are affected by these diseases, the best method is their elimination.

    Calcium deficiency in the soil, irregular irrigation, or the presence of potassium in the soil causes physiological disorders. These deficiencies can manifest as disorders of fruits, leaves, and flowers, which are often confused with fungal diseases. If plants are affected by necrosis, we maintain even irrigation, adequate nutrition, and treat them with, for example, effective calcium chloride or special foliar fertilizer.

  • Peppers grown for green fruits are harvested as early as mid-July. Red or yellow fruits are harvested at the end of August and in September. Spice peppers (chili) are harvested in autumn if grown outdoors or in a greenhouse.
