Planting in open field is usually done with ridges, ridge height is about 15cm, row spacing is 50--60cm, plant spacing is 33--40cm, one plant per hole; Potted plants are pots or plastic basins with basin diameter of 18--20cm, and each pot is planted with a robust plant. Seedlings, potted soil for self-made nutritious soil. 4.2 Cultivation and Management Ornamental peppers are strong in growth and development, and no special management is required in the case of full application of base fertilizers.

The disease can be controlled with agricultural streptomycin at a concentration of 200 mg/L. Anthrax can be controlled by 75% chlorothalonil wettable powder 600 times.
Freeze Dried process is a method to freeze the dry liquid materials into solid and use the sublimation properties of ice under low temperature and pressure to dehydrate the materials and achieve the purpose of drying. Freeze-drying technology first appeared in the space field, and it is known to all that the space food has a high quality requirement, which is designed to meet the needs of the astronauts in space for the nutrition of fruits and vegetables. Because freeze-drying technology not only let the color, aroma, taste, nutrition of the food itself, but also make food more convenient to carry and transport. With the development of economy, freeze-drying technology has been applied to daily food processing, so the lyophilization process is also called aerospace food technology.
Freeze dried food is to use rapid freezing, vacuum dehydration method of ice, preserved the original color, aroma, taste, nutrition, and the appearance of the original material, the water content of only about 5%, because of the particularity of its craft, by freezing to break the cell wall, so crispy, nutrition, easy absorption
