Hot Pepper Planting Information:

Some hot pepper varieties come from tropical, humid regions, while others come from dry desert regions. Temperature, moisture, and air circulation all play a role in growing plants from seed. Too little heat, too much moisture, and a lack of air circulation will cause poor results. Do not use jiffy peat pots, plugs, or potting soil, as the soil can 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. Use Miracle-Gro Seed Starting Material for the best germination results. Read the Hot Pepper Growing Tips and Planting Instructions for information on growing hot peppers from seeds. Please take the time to watch the Hot Pepper Planting Instructions Movie. Plants can grow 1 to 7 ft tall.

Soil Requirements:

Requires fertile soil in a well-drained location in the garden. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant.

Water Requirements:

Water thoroughly with soaker hoses during dry, hot spells.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Apply Miracle-Gro Liquid Fertilizer every two weeks.

Harvest Tips:

Harvest hot peppers when fully mature using garden scissors, so you don't damage the plant. Pick peppers as they mature to encourage new buds to form.

Note: 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 germination results. Warning: Do not use peat pots, plugs, or potting soil for growing hot peppers from seeds as the soil becomes too dry or too wet, which can lead to disease, fungus, and poor germination results. Do not use covers or lids as lack of air and condensation moisture will cause poor germination results, disease, and fungus. Use Miracle-Gro© Seed Starting Mix for best germination results.
