🫑 How to Care for Capsicum Plant at Home | Garden365

Capsicum, also known as bell pepper or shimla mirch, is one of the easiest and most rewarding vegetables to grow at home. With its bright green, red, and yellow fruits, it not only adds freshness to your meals but also brings color to your garden. Whether on a balcony, terrace, or backyard, you can easily grow capsicum at home using the right care practices and Garden365 products.

🌱 Choosing the Right Spot

Capsicum plants love warmth and sunlight.

  • Place them in a sunny spot where they get 5–6 hours of direct sunlight daily.

  • If you’re growing indoors, keep the plant near a south-facing window or use grow lights.

  • For easy container gardening, start with a Garden365 HDPE Grow Bag (12x12 inch) that allows proper root development.

🪴 Soil Mix for Capsicum Plant

Healthy soil is the secret to strong plants and a good harvest. Capsicum prefers loose, well-draining, nutrient-rich soil.

  • Mix Garden365 Potting Mix + Garden365 Cocopeat + Garden365 Red Soil in equal parts.

  • Add Garden365 Vermicompost to boost organic nutrition.

💧 Watering Capsicum Plants

Capsicum plants need regular but moderate watering.

  • Water 3–4 times a week in summer or when the topsoil feels dry.

  • Avoid waterlogging, which can cause root rot.

  • Growing in Garden365 Grow Bags ensures good drainage and prevents excess moisture.

🌿 Supporting Growth

Capsicum plants can grow bushy but may need some support when laden with fruits.

  • Use Garden365 Trellis Support Sticks to keep plants upright.

  • Pinch off the top shoots when the plant is young to encourage branching.

🌸 Flowering & Fruiting Stage

  • Capsicum plants start flowering within 2 months of planting.

  • Ensure sufficient sunlight during this stage.

  • If flowers drop, spray Garden365 Seaweed Extract to reduce stress and promote fruit set.   Seaweed Extract Liquid – Natural Plant Growth Booster (100 ML) 🌿🌊 Garden365
