Plant Care:
All plants will adapt to gradual shifts in their environment, allowing them to thrive under changing conditions. However, sudden changes can prove detrimental, risking the health and vitality of your plants. One such risk in pepper plants is sun-scalding, which can cause extensive damage to the leaves. This damage not only affects the plant’s aesthetic appeal but also disrupts its ability to photosynthesize effectively, hindering growth and overall health. To protect your pepper plants, ensure they’re gradually acclimated to your outside garden.
