How to grow Capsicum at home?
The Capsicum plant moderately requires cool temperature which is between 21-25 degrees. Extreme hot and cold weather does not allow this plant to bear fruits. A single plant can grow 4-6 units at a time. One should make sure that the soil isn’t too loamy and well-drained. The seeds of capsicum should be sprinkled half a centimetre deep in the soil.
The plant should be exposed to around 4 hours of bright sunlight. If the temperature shoots up, one can sprinkle water on the plant. In about two weeks, the seeds will begin to germinate. Once the seedlings are around 10-15 cm long, they can be treated with a mild dose of fertilizers. Ensure that the temperature is maintained and a well-treated plant will bear fruits within two months.
