Planting Instructions

Planting Instructions: Peppercorn seeds need rich soil, plenty of water, humidity, and partial shade. Plant seeds indoors ½" deep. For proper germination, keep the seeds damp and at 50% humidity or higher, with temperatures between 75°F to 85°F. After the seeds germinate, keep the soil moist and prevent it from drying out. Transplant into larger pots as the seedling grows. Seeds are recalcitrant (sensitive to drying) and lose viability quickly, so plant seeds upon arrival. Soak in water for a few hours. Plant seeds ¼" deep. Cover lightly with a thin layer of Miracle-Gro Seed Starting Mix and water gently.

Soil Facts: Requires well-prepared soil.

Fertilizer: Use a general-purpose fertilizer when preparing the soil.
