Sunlight: Full sunlight is crucial for the AJI Charapita to flourish. It needs at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.

Soil: Well-draining, fertile soil with good organic content is best. A slightly acidic to neutral pH level (around 6.0-7.0) is optimal.

Watering: Regular watering is essential, especially during dry periods. The soil should be kept consistently moist but not waterlogged, as chili peppers do not like sitting in water.

Fertilization: Organic Fertilize regularly with a balanced fertilizer (such as 10-10-10 NPK) or one formulated for vegetables. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for application.

Spacing: Plant AJI Charapita peppers about 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) apart to allow for adequate air circulation and growth space.

Support: Depending on the variety and size, some plants may benefit from staking or support to keep them upright as they grow and bear fruit.

Pests and Diseases: Monitor for common pests like aphids, spider mites, and caterpillars. Use organic pest control methods if possible. Diseases like fungal infections can be prevented by ensuring good air circulation and avoiding overwatering.

Harvesting: AJI Charapita peppers are typically small and round, turning from green to red as they mature. Harvest peppers carefully to avoid damaging the plant.
