Growing conditions

• Soil: Fertile, well-draining soil.
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced organic fertilizer monthly.

Troubleshooting

Yellow leaves

Yellowing foliage is often caused by overwatering or poor drainage. Check that the soil is draining well and reduce watering if it feels consistently wet.

Stunted growth

Slow or stunted growth may happen when the soil is too cold or the plant is not receiving enough light. Move plants to a warmer, sunnier location if possible.

Aphids and mites

If you notice aphids or mites, treat the plants with organic insecticidal soap and recheck them regularly for recurring infestations.

Harvesting

Harvest pods when they are young, firm, and tender for the best flavor and texture. The distinctive purple pods will turn green when cooked.
