Care and Maintenance
Watering: Reduce watering slightly in winter but avoid letting the plant dry out completely.
Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer (10-10-10) monthly during the growing season.
Pruning: Trim to manage growth and encourage fruiting.
Pollination: Pepper plants self-pollinate but benefit from gentle shaking to aid the process.
Harvesting: With patience, black pepper plants will produce small berries that mature into peppercorns. Harvest when berries turn red, then dry them to use as black pepper.
Planting Care
Soil: Use well-draining, loamy soil with a pH between 5.5–7. Enrich with compost or aged manure.
Location: Pick a spot with partial shade and temperatures between 75°F–85°F. Indoors, place near a bright window.
Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply when the top inch feels dry.
