• Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid overwatering. Water when the top inch of soil is dry.
• Fertilizing: Use a balanced fertilizer early on, then switch to a low-nitrogen fertilizer once flowers appear.
• Support: Provide stakes or cages, as Cayenne plants can grow 2-4 feet tall.

Growing your own hot peppers offers numerous benefits. You’ll have a fresh supply of spicy peppers for cooking, and you’ll also enjoy the satisfaction of nurturing your own plants. Plus, homegrown peppers often have a more intense flavor than store-bought varieties.

Pest and Disease Management: Keep an eye out for common pests like aphids and spider mites. Use neem oil or insecticidal soap as needed. Ensure good airflow and avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases. Mulch around the base of the plants to help retain moisture and suppress weeds. Harvesting is ready in 70-85 days, pick when green for a milder heat or wait until they turn bright red for full spiciness. Use scissors or pruners to cut peppers off rather than pulling.
