| Hot Pepper Seed
Planting Information:
Some hot pepper varieties come from tropical
humid regions and some varieties come from dry desert regions. The temperature,
moisture, and air circulation all play a role in growing plants from seeds.
Too little heat, too much moisture, and lack of air circulation will cause
poor results. Do not over-water seeds and keep temperatures at a constant 85 F. Do not use heating pads as they do not bring temperatures to a constant 85 F. Do not use jiffy peat pots, plugs, or potting soil, or cover the pots, as the soil may become too dry or too
wet, which can lead to disease and fungus. We have experienced disease and low
germination when using these types of products and covering the pots with plastic or covers. Do not bottom water the seeds as this causes the seed starting material to become too wet and you will experience poor germination! Use Miracle Gro Seed Starting Material for best germination results. Read the Hot Pepper Growing Tips and Planting Instructions for information on
growing hot peppers from seeds. Plants can grow 1 to 7 ft tall.
