– Water Regularly: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Bell peppers require regular watering, especially during hot weather, to prevent blossom drop. –
Prune for Better Yield: Trim the lower leaves to improve air circulation and prevent diseases. Pruning side shoots can also help direct more energy to producing larger peppers.
Harvest at the Right Time: Bell peppers can be harvested when they're still green, but for a sweeter flavor, wait until they turn red, yellow, or orange. Picking them at the right time promotes continued fruiting.
