Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
No special preparation is required for Ancho Gigantea Pepper seeds.
Sowing:
Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Use seed-starting trays or pots filled with a well-draining seed-starting mix. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination occurs. Maintain a soil temperature of 70-85°F (21-29°C) for optimal germination.
Germination:
Seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days. Once seedlings have developed 2-3 true leaves, they are ready for transplanting.
Transplanting:
Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date when soil temperatures are consistently above 60°F (16°C). Space plants 18-24 inches apart in rows spaced 24-36 inches apart to allow for adequate air circulation and growth.
Care and Maintenance:
Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods and throughout the growing season. Support: Stake taller pepper varieties if necessary to prevent the plants from toppling over in windy conditions or when laden with fruit. Harvesting: Harvest peppers when they reach full size and mature color. Ancho Gigantea Peppers are typically harvested when they are deep green and mature to a reddish-brown color if left on the plant longer.
