Signs of Cold Stress in Tabasco pepper
Symptoms
Tabasco pepper exhibits moderate resilience to cool temperatures, flourishing optimally between 70℉ and 85℉. Throughout the winter, temperatures should remain above 60℉. Should the temperature drop below 50℉, foliage may darken. In extreme instances, water-soaked tissue death, wilting, and drooping can occur, with leaves progressively turning brown.
Solutions
Remove any parts damaged by frost. Promptly relocate the plant indoors to a warm setting or construct a temporary greenhouse for protection against cold. When indoors, position the plant near a south-facing window to ensure adequate sunlight. If natural light is insufficient, consider using supplementary lighting.
Signs of Heat Stress in Tabasco pepper
Symptoms
In summer, Tabasco pepper should be maintained below 85℉. When temperatures surpass 95℉, the plant's development decelerates, its leaves lighten in hue, and it becomes more prone to sun damage.
Solutions
Prune off any sun-scorched and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to an area offering shade from the afternoon sun. Irrigate the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
