Caring For The Pepper You Grow

Soil

Peppercorn plants need rich soil with hummus to retain moisture.  The soil must also have good drainage to release the water and not hold it.  Heavy soils like clay cause root rot and the death of the plant.  Use a light potting mix to amend your heavy soil or add leaf mold or compost as well.

Peppercorn should receive full light. The vines need the sun’s energy to produce fruits and flowers.  In a greenhouse or indoors, partial sunlight is suitable for healthy growth.
