Hot Pepper Seeds

Capsicum annuum, unless otherwise noted

Growing tips:

• Start pepper seeds indoors in seedling trays or small seedling pots with seed starting soil that has essential nutrients in it, 6-8 weeks prior to last frost.
• Keep the soil moist for quick germination.
• Make sure to keep the young pepper seedlings under good light to have strong plants with sturdy, healthy stems and leaves.
• Transplant after last frost in well-drained, fertile soil enrichened with compost and other amendments.
• Feed your pepper plants with liquid fertilizer once every two weeks.
• Water regularly especially in flower stage. Mulch and always water at plant base to minimize disease.
• Some pepper varieties are taller than others and may need to be tied to a stake so that fruits don’t touch soil and rot.
