Common names:<\/strong> Sweet pepper ‘Liberty Belle’
Family:<\/strong> Solanaceae
Climate:<\/strong> Adapted to warm climates
Category:<\/strong> Outdoor plant
Approx. height:<\/strong> 45\/50 cm.<\/p>\n
Light:<\/strong> Requires direct sun exposure, ideally 6 or more hours of sun per day, which encourages flowering and good pepper development.
Temperature: Prefers warm conditions. Frost affects growth; in temperate climates it is grown as an annual.
Watering:<\/strong> Regular watering, keeping the soil moist but well-drained. Avoid waterlogging, as peppers are sensitive to excess water.
Humidity:<\/strong> Does not require high ambient humidity. It absorbs water mainly through the roots; avoid excess moisture on the leaves.
Fertilisation: Organic fertilisers or balanced potassium-rich blends can be applied during the growing season, especially after the first fruits appear.
Pruning:<\/strong> Pruning is not essential. However, removing dry leaves or branches can help keep the plant healthy and productive.
Life cycle:<\/strong> Semi-annual.
Substrate type:<\/strong> Fertile, loose and well-drained soil. Ideally with organic matter, coco coir or perlite to optimise drainage.
Not Pet Friendly:<\/strong> Keep peppers away from pets; they may cause gastrointestinal discomfort.
Fun fact:<\/strong> The ‘Liberty Belle’ variety was developed for growing in small spaces (such as balconies or patios).<\/p>\n
