Capsicum was sown in the middle of February. At the beginning of April, hot pepper should not be planted in rotation or continuous cropping with Solanaceae crops. The suitable temperature for seed germination was 25 ~ 30 ℃, and germination was slow when it was below 15 ℃ or higher than 30 ℃. The low temperature tolerance of seedlings is weak, but with the growth of seedlings, the ability of low temperature tolerance is also gradually strengthened. The suitable temperature during flowering and fruiting period is 20-25 ℃ in daytime and 15-20 ℃ at night. The growth cycle is about 60-90 days.

Pepper is a medium light plant, as long as the temperature and nutritional conditions are suitable. Can carry out flower bud differentiation and blossom and bear fruit normally. It takes more than 30 days after fertilization to fully expand the fruit and more than 20 days to change color and mature. The green ripe pericarp is different green, a few varieties are white, yellow, purple, the old ripe pericarp color changes to orange, red or purple.

Chili peppers are not resistant to drought and waterlogging, so always keep the soil moist. Pepper can grow in general soil, but the loose soil with slightly acidic, fertile and good permeability is the best. Pepper watering, do not often water, the soil is dry and then water, otherwise it is easy to hurt the root, but also not conducive to growth. Pepper fertilization, fertilization in the growing period, flowering stage, fruiting period, appropriate amount.
