Biological characteristics
Perennial herb, often cultivated annually. Stem semilignified or semishrubby, erect, branching, variety of the prickly pepper. Simple alternate leaves, ovate-lanceolate or rectangular round, like edible capsicum. Flowers small, white, solitary, pediculate in axillary or spine-branch tips. Calyx short, swollen when bearing fruit. According to the shape of the fruit, there are linear, horn shape, cherry shape, wind bell shape, snake shape, date shape, finger sky shape, lantern shaped rocket and other types. In the ripening process, from green to white, yellow, orange, red, purple and other colors, shiny. The flowering period is from July to frost, and the fruiting period is from August to October.

Planting guide
1. When to plant outside
Grow seedlings in the greenhouse in early spring, and wait for the late frost to pass after reasonable planting outside.

Second, sowing and management
The seeds are exposed to the sun for 2 days to promote post-ripening, improve germination rate, and kill germs carried on the surface of the seeds. Or 0.5% trisodium phosphate, or 300-400 times potassium permanganate. Or 1% thiourea soak for 20-30 minutes to kill germs carried on the seeds. After repeatedly washing the liquid on the seeds, soak them in warm water at 25-30 ° C for 8-12 hours. Sow on the seedling bed or hole tray, then cover with soil 0.5-1 cm (fine soil), and finally cover the shed to moisturize and warm. After sowing, the daytime temperature is 25-30℃, and the ground temperature is about 20℃. The seedbed should have a sufficient supply of water, but the soil should not be too wet. When the seedling height is 5 cm, it is necessary to ventilate the seedling bed, and the vent should be flexibly mastered according to the growth trend of the seedlings and the weather temperature, and the seedlings can be cultivated in the open air 10 days before planting. The cultivation of seedlings should be carried out step by step, and must not be in place in one step.

Three, water and fertilizer
After slow seedling will begin to grow vigorously, management should be watered once every 2-3 days to keep the soil moist, but avoid water, otherwise the ornamental pepper root is easy to suffocate and die. The ornamental capsicum cultivated indoors is easy to fall flower due to the influence of environmental factors such as light and air relative humidity. In order to increase the fruit setting rate, artificial assisted pollination can be carried out during the flowering period. Observe the flowers that have opened every morning, if the anthers crack and disperse powder, you can gently shake the plant to make the pollen fall on the stigma; A cotton swab can also be dipped in pollen and gently applied to the stigma. The fruit setting rate after pollination can reach more than 90%. After the fruit sits, the compound fertilizer solution can be thinly applied 1-2 times to promote the growth of the fruit and facilitate the appreciation. Keep the soil moist during the fruiting period, otherwise the fruit will be wrinkled and dull. After most of the fruits are basically mature, the upper stems and leaves and fruits can be cut off, continue to water, topdressing, careful maintenance, such as proper management, ornamental pepper can occur again, flowering to the New Year's Day before and after.

4. Pest control
Ornamental pepper pest mainly aphids, mites and white whitefly, spray imidacloprid 10-15g, with water 5000-7500 times spray. The main diseases are virus disease, anthrax and blight. Reducing irrigation in high temperature weather can reduce the incidence of disease. After the onset of disease, 500 times the liquid of 25% Metalaxyl wettable powder or 1000 times the liquid of 72% downy blight net wettable powder spray control. It can also be controlled by 20% virus A wettable powder 500 times liquid spray. Powdery mildew is generally treated with 15% powder rust rather than wet powder 1000 times liquid spray.
