Planting Instructions: Sow: Begin indoor planting between mid-February and late March. Bottom heat of 80–90°F (27–32°C) is essential for pepper germination. Seeds will germinate in 7–8 days at that temperature.  Utilize a soil-less growing mix and sow seeds approximately 6 mm (1/4″) deep. Maintaining the growing medium temperature at 21°C (70°F) will optimize germination

Grow seedlings under bright light and within a temperature range of 16-21°C (60-70°F) to foster robust, sturdy plants. Transplant after hardening off, typically early June. Optimal conditions include full sun exposure and well-drained soil.

Space plants 30 cm (12″) apart in rows with a 60 cm (24″) gap between rows.

Soil: Choose well-draining, nutrient-rich soil for optimal growth.

Sunlight: Ensure your Jalapeno plants receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily.

Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged.

Spacing: Plant seedlings 18-24 inches apart in rows or in containers.

Harvesting: Harvest peppers when they reach desired size and color. Regular harvesting encourages continued fruit production.

Growing Tips:
