Growing the Snow White variety and caring for the plant includes the following components:
- timely and regular watering;
- loosening the soil;
- feeding the plant with mineral fertilizers;

The storage conditions for pepper are the same as for most vegetables: air temperature from +3 to +6 and moderate humidity. For short-term storage, a regular refrigerator is perfect.
