Yellow Biquinho peppers, also called Little Beak or Sweety Drop peppers, have a distinctive teardrop shape. They are a mild variety of Capsicum chinense that offer a unique, sweet, and fruity flavor with a hint of smokiness. Typically registering 500 to 1,000 Scoville Heat Units, they are ideal for those who prefer a gentle heat. These bright yellow peppers can be used in a variety of culinary applications, including pickling, adding a vibrant touch to salsas, garnishing dishes for a pop of color and flavor, or enjoying raw in salads. Their delightful taste and appealing appearance make them a versatile and exciting addition to any kitchen. Plants are compact, staying around 2FT tall and get equally bushy. They are a great option for growing in small spaces, containers, or GreenStalk garden towers. 

Peppers are slow to germinate and slow to start growing to transplant size. I recommend to start seeds in pots/trays with a heat mat to speed up germination. Then start fertilizing weekly with half strength fertilizer once the first set of true leaves appear. Peppers are similar to tomatoes in that they like plenty of water and are heavy feeders. 

Peppers are perennial plants and can produce for several years if taken care of. In cold climates trim off all the leaves and bring in doors in a pot to over winter. Place back out doors once temperatures are nice and warm. In mild climates, pepper plants can be left out doors and might need to be covered on the coldest nights.

Ideal Growing Conditions

Sun: 8 hours of full sun. Cover with 40% shade cloth during the summer if the days are consistently over 90F.   

Water: Let the soil dry out a little in-between watering

Fertilizer: Regular applications of an organic granular fertilizer, like Espoma Tomato-Tone will help speed up growth and increase production. 

When To Sow Seeds: General guidelines recommend to start seeds indoors, 10-12 weeks before your last spring frost date. If you gardening in a hot climate (no snow areas), can also sow seeds indoors during the summer to plant for a fall crop. Sow 2-3 seeds, 1/4 inch deep, in solo cups with drainage holes cut out of the bottom. Use heat mats and grow lights to speed up germination and growth. 

Germination: 10-14 days

Days To Maturity: 80 days after transplanting

How & When To Harvest: You can harvest them at any color stage. They start out green and eventually turn yellow at full maturity. 

Common Diseases: The most common disease when growing peppers is bacterial spot, often proliferated by consistently wet conditions and plant leaves. Spray with 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide per gallon of water to clean and disinfect. Repeat every 3 to 5 days until you notice the spread has stopped. If a lot of rain is expected, pre-treatment will help to prevent diseases. 

Common Pests: Whiteflies and mealybugs are common sap-sucking pests on pepper plants. Whiteflies gather on the undersides of leaves, causing yellowing and leaf drop, while mealybugs, covered in a white, cotton-like wax, weaken plants and produce sticky honeydew that attracts sooty mold. Treat both pests with regular applications of an organic insecticidal soap, focusing on leaf undersides. Additionally, use yellow sticky traps to capture adult white flies. For severe white fly infestations, remove badly infested leaves and spray with spinosad.
