Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Sowing Instructions:

• Indoor Sowing:

  • Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date.
  • Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed trays or pots with a good-quality seed-starting mix.
  • Maintain a soil temperature of 70-85°F (21-29°C) for optimal germination.
  • Keep the soil moist but not soggy during germination, which typically takes 7-21 days.

• Outdoor Sowing:

  • Direct sow outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil temperature has reached at least 60°F (16°C).
  • Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep, spaced about 2-3 inches apart in rows spaced 18-24 inches apart.

Germination:

• Germination will typically occur in 7-21 days under optimal conditions.
• Provide bright light for seedlings once they emerge, either from grow lights or direct sunlight.
• Keep the soil moist but well-drained during the germination process.

Transplanting:

• Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost, when they have at least 2-3 sets of true leaves.
• Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions for about 7 days before transplanting into their permanent garden location.

Care & Maintenance:

Watering:

• Water the plants regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during hot weather. However, avoid over-watering, which can cause root rot.
• Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.

Fertilization:

• Apply a balanced fertilizer once the plants are established to promote healthy growth.
• Use a fertilizer higher in potassium and phosphorus when flowering and fruiting to encourage fruit development.

Support:

• Provide support for the plants with stakes or cages if necessary, as the pepper plants may need help supporting the weight of the peppers as they mature.

Weed Control:

• Keep the growing area weed-free to reduce competition for water and nutrients.
• Mulch around the plants to help retain moisture and suppress weed growth.

Harvesting:

• Chocolate Fatalii peppers typically ripen in 80-90 days from transplanting.
• Harvest peppers once they have fully matured to a rich chocolate brown color, which will indicate they are at their peak heat and flavor.
• Use gloves when handling these peppers to avoid irritation from their potent oils.
