Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
Soak seeds in warm water for 12-24 hours before planting to soften the seed coat and improve germination rates.
Sowing:
Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix. Maintain a temperature of 75-85°F (24-29°C) for optimal germination.
Germination:
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days under ideal conditions.
Transplanting:
Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date when the soil has warmed and nighttime temperatures are consistently above 60°F (16°C). Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a period of 7-10 days. Space plants 18-24 inches apart in rows that are 24-36 inches apart.
Care and Maintenance:
Water regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist but not saturated. Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Provide support with stakes or cages if plants become top-heavy with fruit. Monitor for pests such as aphids and caterpillars, and treat as necessary. Harvest peppers when they reach full size and turn red, using scissors or pruners to avoid damaging the plant.
Happy gardening!
