- Sunlight & Watering: Provide 6-8 hours of full sun daily and water consistently, keeping soil moist but not waterlogged. Avoid wetting the foliage.
- Support & Care: Light staking may be necessary to support plants as they produce heavy fruit.
Harvest Tips:
Harvest Scotch Bonnet peppers when they are firm, full-sized, and ripened to their vibrant yellow, orange, or red color. Wear gloves when handling to avoid irritation from their heat. Use fresh for authentic Caribbean recipes, or preserve through drying or pickling for later use.
