home and garden landscapingHow much space does a bell pepper plant need to grow?
Thereof, how big does a bell pepper plant grow?
Average Height. Bell pepper plants may be as short as 6 inches, or as tall as 3 feet tall. The spread of these plants may be anywhere from 1 to 3 feet. Grown in upper U.S. Department of Agriculture zones 8 through 11, bell pepper plants may be overwintered outdoors, where they become full and bush-like.
Consequently, how many bell peppers does a plant produce?
On average, standard bells produce 6-8 peppers per plant.
Should I pull the flowers off in order to get larger bell peppers? Pinching blooms may help a little by redirecting growth to make branches instead of fruit. However, the tiny buds are often right at the growing tips, so be careful.
