Elongated Red Alceo Pepper
Elongated Red Alceo pepper is a variety with a large, quadrilobate elongated fruit, turning from dark green to intense red at full maturity, reaching about 18x10 cm in size with an average weight of 300-350 grams.
The Elongated Red Alceo pepper Plant
Botanically it is a Capsicum annuum, part of the Solanaceae family. The plant is tall and upright, with short internodes that favor good light exposure for the fruits. The flesh is medium-thick, firm and suitable for both fresh consumption and cooking.
It is a variety particularly suited to greenhouse growing, where it best expresses its production potential, though it also adapts to open field cultivation in favorable climates.
How to Sow Elongated Red Alceo pepper
Sowing takes place in a heated seedbed, burying the seeds about 0.5-1 cm deep, keeping temperatures steady around 24-26 degrees for uniform germination. Transplanting into the greenhouse or field takes place between March and June, once seedlings have developed a good root system.
How to Grow Elongated Red Alceo pepper
It favors fertile, medium-textured, well-drained soil in a sunny position. In protected cultivation, good ventilation is important to avoid excess humidity, which favors fungal diseases.
The growing cycle features successive flowering and a harvest that extends over several months, with fruits picked either at the green stage or at full red maturity, depending on the intended culinary use.
Tips for Growing Elongated Red Alceo pepper
Watering should be kept regular, avoiding fluctuations that can cause blossom end rot on the fruits. Balanced fertilization, rich in potassium during the fruiting stage, supports the development of the large fruits typical of this variety.
Diseases and Pests of Elongated Red Alceo pepper
Common pests include aphids, thrips and whitefly, especially widespread in protected cultivation. Fungal diseases such as powdery mildew and grey mould should be prevented with proper humidity and ventilation management in the greenhouse.
Properties of Elongated Red Alceo pepper
The fruits of this pepper are rich in vitamin C, especially at full red maturity, and natural antioxidants. Thanks to its firm flesh, it is well suited both to fresh preparations and cooked dishes such as pepper stews and grilled dishes.
