      • Cherry Peppers: Delicious raw as a small snack. They are also good in salads or pickles.<\/li>
      • Cuban Pepper: This long, thin pepper is pale yellow-green when first grown but darkens and turns red if left to fully mature. Most of them are sold in their immature state and used chopped as a flavoring for other dishes.\u00a0<\/li>
      • Green peppers: common, very crunchy in texture.<\/li>
      • Orange sweet peppers have a refreshing, fruity taste.\u00a0 Great for adding color to salads. They have a high percentage of juice and are firm, succulent and crunchy.<\/li>
      • Yellow sweet pepper has a sweet taste and high nutritional content<\/li><\/ul><\/li>
        • Original country:\u00a0<\/b><\/li><\/ul>

          South America, specifically southern Brazil and Bolivia. It has been cultivated in Mexico since 2500 BC. It is said that Christopher Columbus brought the plant to Europe, and it spread to many parts of the world<\/p>

              • Peppers need constantly moist soil throughout the growing season. Drought conditions during flowering time can cause flowers to drop or fail to produce fruit. Later, as the fruit grows, it needs enough moisture to form thick, juicy walls.<\/li>
              • \u00a0Drought conditions during fruit development can result in thin-walled, dry fruits.\u00a0<\/li>
              • Water pepper plants at least weekly, or as needed, until the soil is moist to an inch below the soil surface.\u00a0<\/li>
              • Water the plants deeply and let the soil dry slightly between waterings.\u00a0<\/li>
              • The amount of water it needs depends on your climate. During hot, dry or windy weather, you'll need more water than you do during cold or wet weather.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                • It thrives in warm, sunny conditions.<\/p>

                  Sweet peppers tolerate cold conditions better than hot peppers<\/p><\/li>

                • Bell peppers can tolerate a night temperature of at least 12\u00b0C (54\u00b0F), but will grow best if kept above 15\u00b0C (59\u00b0F). But they don't like to be too hot \u2013 temperatures above 30\u00b0C (86\u00b0F) can reduce fruiting, so keep the greenhouse well ventilated and provide shading in summer<\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                  • Sun must be provided, as sweet peppers need full sun to grow and ripen properly; So keep it in a sunny place; Unless you live in a climate exposed to extremely high heat and intense sunlight, in which case you can use shade cloth or place plants nearby to reduce their exposure to the rays.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

                        • Bell pepper plants do not tolerate wet or poorly drained soil, so it is important to choose a potting mix that drains well. A mixture containing a mix of peat moss, perlite and vermiculite can help improve drainage and prevent waterlogging.<\/li>
                        • Bell pepper plants prefer slightly acidic soil with a pH between 6.0 to 6.8. If the soil is too alkaline, it may be difficult for plants to absorb some nutrients. A potting mix with a slightly acidic pH can help ensure your plants get the nutrients they need.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                                • Place the seeds on a wet paper towel in a bowl. Cover them with cling film to prevent moisture loss (the cling film should not touch the seeds) and place them in a warm area,\u00a0 a temperature of around 22\u00b0C\/72\u00b0F is ideal.<\/li>
                                • Keep the paper towel moist at all times. The seeds will take an average of ten days to germinate.<\/li>
                                • The sprouting seeds will sprout a small white root indicating they have begun to grow. The roots are difficult to see on white paper towels, so monitor them carefully at least once a day after the first four days.\u00a0<\/li>
                                • \u00a0When the leaves grow you will need to move them to larger pots. Pots that are 12cm (5in) to 15cm (6in) wide are ideal. Set the plants 5cm (2in) or more deeper in the new pots than they were previously. This will encourage the creation of stronger roots and help anchor the plants as they grow\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>
