How to Care for the Plant
Water
Watering container peppers will vary depending on the location. if the container is indoors, your pepper plant will have no other source of water but you. if that is the case, you should water it daily. its roots are restrained by the container so they cannot grow outward or down to reach underground moisture the way an outdoor plant would.
Pruning
It is important because damaged leaves and stems can actually be an energy drain on your plant. By removing those dead parts, you're taking some of that work off your plant’s plate and allowing it to divert its energy into healthy leaves and new growth!
Fertilizer
An organic, balanced, liquid fertilizer once a month during growth period is recommended.

Sunlight
Light is an essential factor in maintaining plants. The rate of growth and length of time a plant remains active is dependent on the amount of light it receives. Light energy is used in photosynthesis, the plant's most basic metabolic process.
Soil
Use a potting mix, which makes it safer for plants because it doesn't contain pathogens such as fungus or other diseases.
Temperature
Plant these peppers three weeks after the last spring frost date, when the nighttime temperature is above 55°F and the daytime temperature is around 65 to 70°F.
