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.
