Red capsicum
Capsicum annuum
Red capsicum (bell pepper) grows best in a warm, sunny location with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day, making it suitable for sunny windowsills or outdoor gardens. Water consistently to keep the soil evenly moist, and feed with a balanced fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season to encourage fruiting. Pinching early flowers can promote a stronger plant and a more abundant harvest.
