Frequently Asked Questions

What pest or disease most often affects Capsicum annuum (poblano-type peppers) and how do I control it?

A common problem is aphids, which can stunt growth and spread virus; check the undersides of leaves weekly, especially in warm weather. Spray plants with a strong jet of water to dislodge aphids, then apply insecticidal soap and repeat every 5–7 days until activity stops. Also remove badly infected leaves early and avoid wetting foliage to reduce foliar diseases.

How often should I water Capsicum annuum during peak growth (after flowering starts)?

During flowering and fruit set, keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy—aim for watering when the top 1 inch of soil feels dry. Water deeply so moisture reaches the root zone, then let excess drain; peppers in Solanaceae are prone to stress and blossom drop if the soil swings from dry to waterlogged. In full sun, this is often every 2–3 days depending on your soil and temperature, with less frequent watering if you have mulch and faster drain soils.

How can I tell when my Tiburon poblano pepper (Capsicum annuum) is ready to harvest?

Harvest at about 75 days when fruits are fully sized and firm, typically reaching a deep green (or beginning to turn, depending on your preference). Use pruning shears or scissors to cut the pepper off with a short stem—pulling can damage the plant and reduce yields. If you want mild, crisp poblano flavor, pick while still green and before they soften or wrinkle.

Aromatically green at first, Tiburon ripens into a glossy, deep red pepper with a gently warming finish—mild hot, yet richly flavorful. The fruits are thick-walled and smooth, holding a satisfying snap and a silky interior that’s ideal for roasting, charring, and stuffing, as well as for fresh salsas and vibrant sauces. Grow Tiburon for dependable garden performance and peppers that look as handsome as they taste—75 days from transplant to market-ready color.

Sowing Tips

Transplant Conditions

Wait until soil reaches 60°F and nights stay above 50°F before moving outdoors. Harden off for 10 days first.

Expert Note

For best yield and uniform pods, keep soil/air warm after transplanting and avoid letting plants sit in cold nights—consistent heat leads to sturdier growth and earlier fruit set.
