Harvest chillies when they reach the desired size, colour and maturity.

Regular harvesting supports continued production under favourable conditions.

Feeding

Mix GREEN GARDENS Vermicompost into the soil before transplanting.

Apply additional vermicompost as needed during flowering and fruit development.

Maintain balanced nutrition and avoid excessive nitrogen feeding, which may encourage foliage growth at the expense of fruit production.

Summer & Winter Care

Summer Care

• Provide full morning sunlight.

• Protect flowering plants from extreme afternoon heat.

• Maintain consistent soil moisture.

• Use mulch to reduce soil temperature fluctuations.

• Monitor for aphids, whiteflies, mites and thrips.

Winter Care

• Grow in a sunny, sheltered location.

• Protect plants from frost and cold winds.

• Reduce watering during slow-growth periods.

• Use protected cultivation during colder weather.

Chilli peppers are generally frost-sensitive. Winter cultivation in Lahore requires protection during cold conditions.

Pest & Disease Management

Monitor plants regularly for aphids, whiteflies, thrips, mites and common pepper diseases.

Maintain proper spacing, good airflow and consistent watering. Remove severely affected plant material and follow appropriate integrated pest management practices.
