Capsicum baccatum requires consistent moisture, especially during flowering and fruiting. Water deeply when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry, ensuring good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering slightly in cooler weather or if plants are not actively growing.

Light pruning can improve air circulation and fruit production. Pinch back young plants to encourage bushier growth. Remove any yellowing, diseased, or dead leaves and stems throughout the growing season.

For larger plants, consider staking to support heavy fruit loads and prevent branches from breaking.

Capsicum baccatum is primarily propagated from seeds. Sow seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost, at a depth of about 0. 5 cm. Maintain a soil temperature of 25-30°C for optimal germination.

Transplant seedlings outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures have warmed.

For container-grown 'Aji Peanut' peppers, repotting may be necessary if the plant outgrows its current pot or if the soil quality degrades. Choose a pot that is 5-10 cm larger in diameter.

Repot in spring or early summer, ensuring minimal root disturbance. Provide fresh, well-draining potting mix.
