Are you looking for a unique and intriguing addition to your garden or greenhouse? Look no further than the Peter Pepper plant! With its phallic-shaped fruit and bright red color, this rare variety is sure to turn heads. But the Peter Pepper is more than just a conversation starter - it is also a versatile and productive plant that can be used in a variety of dishes or simply appreciated for its ornamental value.

Growing Peter Pepper plants is relatively easy, even for beginners. To start, plant the seeds indoors and keep them in a warm, well-lit area. Once the seedlings have emerged, transplant them into individual pots or into the garden. Fertilize them with a balanced fertilizer every 2 to 4 weeks and remove the growing tips of the plant when it reaches 20 cm tall, to encourage bushier growth.

Growing the Peter Pepper plant requires patience, as it takes over 100 days to mature. However, once the peppers start to ripen, they will produce up to 20 pods per plant.

The Peter Pepper is ready for harvesting when the pods have turned fully red, which typically takes about 10 to 14 days after they have ripened. Once harvested, the peppers can be used fresh or dried in a variety of dishes, adding a mild to medium heat level. Try using Peter Pepper in sauces, stews, and soups to add a unique flavor to your favorite recipes.

The Peter Pepper has a mild heat level, ranging from 10,000 to 23,000 SHUs. This makes it an ideal choice for those who enjoy a little bit of spice without overwhelming their taste buds.

Like all plants, the Peter Pepper is susceptible to pests and diseases. To keep your plants healthy, make sure to water them regularly and avoid overwatering. Additionally, keep an eye out for common pests such as aphids and spider mites, and treat them promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

Looking for creative ways to use your Peter Pepper harvest? Try making Peter Pepper jelly, which adds a sweet and spicy twist to your morning toast. Or, stuff the phallic-shaped peppers with your favorite filling, such as rice, ground beef, or cheese, and bake until tender for a satisfying and spicy meal.
