Growing & Maintenance Tips for Capsicum annuum 'Serrano'
Peppers need full sun, warm soil, and steady feeding for best yields. Transplant only after nights stay warm, mulch to conserve moisture, and avoid overwatering. Harvest sweet peppers at size or full color; hot peppers often intensify in flavor as they ripen.
