Planting Instructions
Select the Right Location: Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil that is slightly acidic, with a pH between 6.0 and 6.8.
Prepare the Soil: Till the soil to a depth of 6-8 inches and remove any weeds or debris. Amend the soil with organic matter, such as compost or aged manure, to improve drainage and nutrient content.
Sow the Seeds: Sow the chili pepper seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Fill seed starting trays or pots with a sterile seed starting mix and moisten the soil. Sow the seeds ¼ inch deep and cover them lightly with soil.
Provide Warmth and Moisture: Place the seed trays or pots in a warm location, ideally with a temperature between 70-80°F. Keep the soil moist but not soggy.
Thin the Seedlings: Once the seedlings have two true leaves, thin them to allow for proper air circulation and prevent overcrowding.
Harden Off the Seedlings: Gradually acclimate the seedlings to outdoor conditions by exposing them to increasing amounts of sunlight and wind for several days before transplanting.
Care Instructions
Watering: Provide chili pepper plants with consistent moisture, especially during hot, dry periods. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
Fertilizing: Fertilize chili pepper plants regularly throughout the growing season using a balanced fertilizer. Follow the instructions on the fertilizer package for application rates and timing.
Support: Taller chili pepper plants may need support, such as stakes or cages, to prevent them from falling over.
Pest and Disease Control: Monitor chili pepper plants for common pests, such as aphids, whiteflies, and hornworms. Use organic pest control methods whenever possible.
