Planting Instructions

Seed Preparation

• Soak seeds in warm water for 6-12 hours before planting to improve germination.
• For best results, start seeds indoors before transplanting outdoors.

Sowing Guidelines

Indoor Sowing (Recommended for Early Start):

• Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost.
• Plant seeds ¼ inch deep in seed trays or small pots with nutrient-rich soil.
• Maintain soil temperature at 70-85°F (21-29°C) for best germination.
• Transplant seedlings outdoors when they are 6-8 inches tall and nighttime temperatures remain above 55°F (13°C).

Outdoor Sowing:

• Direct sow only in warm climates after all danger of frost has passed.
• Space plants 18-24 inches apart in rows 24-36 inches apart.

Germination & Growth

• Seeds typically germinate within 10-21 days under optimal conditions.
• Water consistently, keeping soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.
• Support plants with stakes or cages if needed to prevent breakage from heavy fruit.

Harvesting

• Harvest when peppers reach their full ivory-white color (70-90 days).
• For a sweeter flavor, allow them to ripen further to a pale yellow hue.
• Use pruning shears or a knife to cut peppers from the plant, avoiding damage to stems.

Care & Maintenance

• Watering: Provide 1-1.5 inches of water per week, adjusting for heat and drought.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer every 3-4 weeks. Avoid excessive nitrogen to encourage fruiting over foliage growth.
• Mulching: Helps retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and prevent weeds.

Pest & Disease Control

• Common Pests: Aphids, spider mites, and pepper weevils. Use insecticidal soap or neem oil as needed.
• Common Diseases: Blossom end rot, powdery mildew. Ensure proper spacing and avoid overhead watering.
