Plant peppers in a sunny spot with well-draining soil for optimal growth. Water consistently to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer every 2-3 weeks during the growing season. Keep an eye out for pests like aphids and caterpillars, and remove them by hand or use an organic insecticide. Harvest peppers when they reach the desired size and color for the best flavor.
