Growing Instructions
Seed Starting: Begin indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix and water from the bottom if possible. Maintain a warm environment of 75-85°F for successful germination.
Transplanting: Once seedlings are 4-6 inches tall and the danger of frost has passed, transplant them into your garden or containers, spacing plants 18-24 inches apart.
Sunlight: Provide full sun, ensuring 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Avoid overhead watering to prevent leaf diseases.
Support: Use stakes or cages to support plants, especially during fruiting.
Harvesting: Peppers are ready to harvest when fully developed in size and ripen to a rich chocolate-brown color. Handle with care to avoid skin irritation.
