Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation required. However, soaking seeds in water for 24 hours before planting can help improve germination rates.

Sowing:

Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Use seed-starting trays filled with a well-draining seed-starting mix.
Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and 1-2 inches apart. Press them lightly into the soil and keep moist.
Maintain a soil temperature of 70-85°F (21-29°C) for optimal germination.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 10-14 days under optimal conditions.
Provide consistent moisture during germination, but avoid waterlogging the soil.

Transplanting:

Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures are consistently warm.
Space plants 12-18 inches apart in rows spaced 18-24 inches apart.
Ensure plants receive full sun exposure for best growth and fruit production.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Pepper plants prefer consistently moist soil. Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry, especially during hot, dry weather.
Support: Some pepper varieties may benefit from staking or caging to support the plants as they grow and produce fruit.
