Frequently Asked Questions
How do I manage early blight or leaf spot on Aji Dulce Amarillo pepper plants?
On Aji Dulce Amarillo, look for dark, target-like spots on leaves and stems that spread in humid weather. Remove and discard infected leaves immediately, and water at the base (not overhead) to keep foliage dry. Spray an approved copper-based fungicide if spotting is increasing—especially after rainy or foggy stretches—and keep plants spaced for airflow.
How often should I water Aji Dulce Amarillo during peak flowering and fruit set?
During the main growing phase (after plants establish and begin flowering), water deeply about 1–2 times per week, aiming for evenly moist—not soggy—soil. Let the top 1 inch of soil dry before watering again; if fruits are forming and you see blossoms dropping or small, dry peppers, increase frequency slightly while still avoiding standing water.
