Elongated Red Carpet Pepper
Elongated Red Carpet pepper is a mid-cycle variety, with a regularly shaped, medium-long fruit of uniform size, medium-dark green before ripening and intense red at full maturity, measuring about 15x10 cm and weighing 350-400 grams.
The Elongated Red Carpet pepper Plant
Botanically it is a Capsicum annuum, part of the Solanaceae family. The plant is vigorous, with covering foliage that shields the fruits from sunscald. The fruits have good flesh thickness and consistent sizing throughout the growing cycle.
It is a variety mainly suited to greenhouse and early tunnel cultivation, but it also performs well in open field conditions.
How to Sow Elongated Red Carpet pepper
Sowing takes place in a heated seedbed, burying the seeds about 0.5-1 cm deep, at steady temperatures between 24 and 26 degrees for uniform germination. Greenhouse transplanting can take place earlier than in the open field, generally between February and April.
How to Grow Elongated Red Carpet pepper
It favors fertile, well-drained soil rich in organic matter, in a sunny position. In protected cultivation, good ventilation is important to prevent fungal diseases linked to humidity.
The covering foliage typical of this variety naturally protects the fruits from direct sun, reducing the risk of sunscald and favoring even coloring during ripening.
Tips for Growing Elongated Red Carpet pepper
Watering should be kept regular and consistent, avoiding fluctuations that can cause fruit cracking. Balanced fertilization during the fruiting stage favors the development of uniformly sized fruits with thick flesh.
Diseases and Pests of Elongated Red Carpet pepper
Common pests include aphids, thrips and whitefly, typical of protected cultivation. Fungal diseases such as powdery mildew and grey mould should be kept under control with proper greenhouse ventilation management.
Properties of Elongated Red Carpet pepper
The fruits of this pepper are rich in vitamin C, particularly high at full red maturity, as well as carotenoids and natural antioxidants. Thanks to its thick, uniform flesh, it is well suited both to fresh consumption and cooked dishes.
