How to Sow and Plant

Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost at 70–80°F. Sow ¼ inch deep in seed trays. Transplant seedlings outdoors after frost when soil temperature is 65–75°F, spacing 18–24 inches apart.

How to Grow

Plant in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil. Water consistently to keep soil moist but avoid waterlogging. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize regularly, switching to phosphorus-rich fertilizer during fruiting.

Tips

Use staking or caging for support as plants grow.

Harvest peppers when they turn red for peak sweetness.

Monitor for pests like aphids and whiteflies, using organic control if needed.

Regular harvest encourages continued production.
