Green Bell Pepper Plant Problem?

Question

I am growing 2 green bell pepper plants. They are right now about 1/2 the size that they should be. The problem is that a couple of them are turning red. I know that they are green peppers because I still have the label for the plant. Is this normal?

Answer 1

green peppers will turn colors when they get mature. a green pepper is an immature fruit on the plant. you should have already picked it.  

Answer 2

Sure it's normal. Just ripe. If you want to increase the size of your peppers, try Miracle Gro. Peppers like nitrogen.

Answer 3

That is normal for them to ripen even tho you got the green, you can either eat them green or eat them red. Gives you a good choice! I sometimes let them ripen if i want red. I usually use more of the green so I pick them green. If u want to freeze them all you have to do is wash them put them in freezer bags and freeze, thats it! Hope this helps, have a great day.

Answer 4

Red means they are ripe and taste sweeter. Green peppers always turn red given enough time.
