Is green pepper a shade or sun-loving plant?

Do green peppers prefer shade or sun?

Green pepper is a sun-loving plant and needs to be planted in a location with good lighting conditions. However, if exposed to the sun for a long time, it will lose water and the leaves will dry and turn yellow. Try to keep the green pepper in a cool place for maintenance. At the same time, the light should not be too bad. If the light is insufficient, the color of the leaves will become dull.

Green peppers in the sun

Green peppers are light-loving crops. When there is sufficient light, their color is dark green, their root system is well developed, and they are not easily susceptible to diseases. When there is insufficient light, the leaves will generally become thinner, the fruits will be poorly developed, and the leaves, flowers, and fruits will fall off.

Green peppers can be exposed to the sun. Without the sun, they cannot photosynthesize and the green pepper tree will not grow large. Even when it grows up, it may not bloom and bear fruit. Except in summer, it can receive full-day sunlight. In summer, in order to avoid sunburn from high temperatures, it needs to be placed in a semi-shaded place with only scattered sunlight.

Green pepper growth process

The germination period is when the green pepper seeds break through the soil, the seedling period is when flower buds grow, the flowering period is when the first flower buds turn into fruit, and the fruiting period is when the green peppers are produced to when the seedlings are pulled out. The suitable temperature for the growth of green peppers is between 15-34 degrees, and the best temperature for the germination of green pepper seeds is between 25 and 30 degrees, and the seeds will grow sprouts within a week.

Green pepper growth habits

1. Water: Green peppers have strict requirements on water conditions. They cannot be too dry or too wet. They prefer relatively dry air conditions.

2. Temperature: The temperature for germination of green pepper seeds is mostly between 23 and 30 degrees. They generally will not germinate below 15 degrees. Green pepper seedlings have high temperature requirements. Too low temperature will slow down the growth rate. 20-25℃ during the day and 15-20℃ at night are most suitable in the early stage of flowering and fruiting. If the soil temperature is too high during the fruiting period, it will be detrimental to the growth of the root system and easily cause other diseases.
