How Do You Care For A Decorative Pepper Plant?
Decorative pepper plants are tropical plants usually grown as houseplants. They come in a range of foliage types offering different leaf shapes, colors and textures. Colors include green or variegated leaves in shades of green, red, yellow and gray. Unlike peppers grown in the vegetable garden, not all decorative peppers fruit, and when they do it is only ornamental. They are instead grown for their interesting foliage. They are low-maintenance and not overly finicky about light, making them suitable for adding greenery inside. Place decorative peppers in a spot that receives bright light. This will help them to develop their best leaf color and variegation. They tolerate low-light conditions at the expense of foliage color. Place in a room that is at least 72 degrees Fahrenheit during the day time. Allow temperatures to drop no lower than 60 degrees Fahrenheit at night. Temperatures that are too cool will damage or kill the plant. Check the drainage holes every three to five months on
