Bull’s Horn Pepper is a distinctive sweet pepper type named for its long, tapered and slightly curved horn-like fruits.
Depending on the seed strain, fruits may begin green and mature to red, yellow or another final colour. Because the exact cultivar has not been specified here, final fruit colour and size should be confirmed from the original seed packet.
The fruits are typically harvested while firm and glossy and are suitable for both fresh and cooked dishes.
Bull’s Horn Peppers can be used in:
They can be harvested green or allowed to develop their mature colour, depending on the specific variety.
G-11 Grow Bag – 11 × 10 inch
Suitable for one compact pepper plant with regular watering and feeding.
G-12 Grow Bag – 12 × 12 inch
Recommended for one established plant with additional root space.
G-24 Grow Bag – 24 × 12 inch
Suitable for several plants when adequate spacing is maintained.
Avoid overcrowding, as good airflow supports healthy foliage, flowering and fruit development.
Use:
50% Vermicompost + 50% Bhalu Mitti (Sandy Soil)
Mix thoroughly before sowing or transplanting.
The growing medium should be:
Avoid permanently soggy soil around the roots.
1. Prepare the Growing Medium

Additional GREEN GARDENS Vermicompost may be applied lightly around established plants when required.
Avoid excessive nitrogen feeding after flowering begins.
