Botany:

N/A

Cultivation:

Ideal growing conditions for peppers include a sunny position with warm, loamy soil, ideally 21 to 29 °C (70 to 84 °F), that is moist but not waterlogged. Extremely moist soils can cause seedlings to "damp-off" and reduce germination. The plants will tolerate (but do not like) temperatures down to 12 °C (54 °F) and they are sensitive to cold.[15][16] For flowering, Capsicum is a non-photoperiod-sensitive crop.[17] The flowers can self-pollinate. However, at extremely high temperature, 30 to 38 °C (86 to 100 °F), pollen loses viability, and flowers are much less likely to result in fruit.[
