  • Sunlight: Requires full sun (6-8 hours daily) for optimal growth and fruit production.
  • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water at the base to avoid wetting the foliage.

Harvesting Tips:
Pick Black Jalapeño peppers when they are firm and deep black for a milder heat or allow them to ripen fully to red for a sweeter, richer flavor. Regular harvesting encourages the plant to produce more fruit.

Elevate your garden and your recipes with Black Jalapeño peppers—a bold, beautiful, and flavorful choice for any chili lover.
