Don't miss this kind of chili for potted vegetables. It is called five-color pepper, a variety of bell pepper. It is extremely hot and extremely beautiful, because its appearance is small and cute, and it is also colorful. It bears many fruits and can also be enjoyed as a flowering plant.
Five-color pepper, also known as five-color chili, is a precious variety among chilies. A single plant can display multiple colors at the same time, such as red, green, yellow and white. It is especially beautiful when grown in a pot, and it is also an excellent indoor ornamental fruit plant.
Like ordinary chilies, five-color pepper is rich in vitamins and also has a powerful antioxidant effect. It can maintain healthy skin, reduce pigmentation and freckles, and can resist cataracts and prevent body aging. People who can eat spicy food basically all have good skin. Isn't that so?
Potted five-color pepper generally does not exceed 60 cm, and a single plant can produce as many as about 300 fruits. Its capsaicin content is 10 times that of ordinary chilies. It is a new type of potted plant that combines food, medicinal and ornamental uses. Vegetable-growing friends who love spicy food should not miss it.
Because five-color pepper has a small plant type, growing it in a pot only requires a small flower pot. Generally, a flower pot with a diameter of 15-25 cm is used to grow only one plant, while a larger pot can hold 2-3 plants.
For potting soil, the soil should be moist and fertile, as well as loose and breathable. If you add more base fertilizer when potting it, such as decomposed cake fertilizer, farmyard manure, etc., it can make it bloom more and bear more fruit.
Five-color pepper likes a warm environment and light. It is not easy to bloom in dim light. During normal care, the potted five-color pepper can be placed outdoors. If it is kept indoors, it needs sunlight for more than 4 hours a day, so that its fruit production can satisfy you.
