Container Pepper Cultivation

Capsicum annuum L.

Growing peppers in containers, which requires selecting compact varieties, maintaining strict light and temperature regimes, and managing the water-air balance within a limited volume of substrate.

In the reference 37 varieties crop Bell pepper, where this is mentioned in the description.

For container cultivation of Capsicum annuum L., it is critical to select genetically determined dwarf forms with a bush compactness index of up to 30–50 cm. Plants require high light intensity of at least 12–15 hours per day and maintenance of temperatures in the range of +18…+24°C, as a decrease in these values below +15°C negatively affects development.

The root system of the pepper is sensitive to damage; therefore, the method of transferring to containers with a volume of 3 to 5 liters is recommended. The substrate must be loose and air-permeable, with a mandatory drainage layer to prevent water stagnation. A controlled microclimate allows the crop to bear fruit continuously, and its status as a facultative self-pollinator ensures high fruit set in enclosed spaces without the involvement of insects.
