Frequently Asked Questions

What pest or disease most commonly affects Capsicum annuum (jalapeño-type peppers) like ‘Felix,’ and what should I do first?

One of the most common problems is aphids, which can cluster on new growth and spread viral issues. Spray a strong jet of water to knock them off, then treat remaining colonies with insecticidal soap, repeating every 5–7 days until new growth is clear. If you notice curled, mottled leaves or stunting, remove affected plants to limit spread.

How can I tell when ‘Felix’ (Capsicum annuum) is ready to harvest?

Harvest when peppers reach the expected size for your plants and the skin looks firm and glossy; ‘Felix’ is typically ready around 75 days after transplant. For jalapeño-style peppers, pick when they turn green to red as desired—green is usually earlier/milder, while fully red is more mature and hotter. Use scissors or snips to cut the fruit with a short stem to avoid tearing the plant.
