Highlights:

- Quantity: 200 Pieces/ Pack
- Soil requirements: Jolokia pepper seeds prefer well-draining, sandy loam soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 6.5. The soil should be rich in organic matter to support healthy growth.
- Sunlight needs: These seeds require full sun exposure, which means they need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day.
- Watering requirements: Jolokia peppers need consistent moisture but should not be waterlogged. Water the plants deeply once or twice a week, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Mulching can help retain soil moisture.
- Planting season: The best time to plant Jolokia pepper seeds is in the spring, after the last frost has passed. In warmer climates, they can also be started indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost date.
- Depth and spacing: Plant the seeds about 1/4 inch deep in the soil. Space the seeds or seedlings about 18-24 inches apart to allow for adequate air circulation and growth.
- Germination time: Jolokia pepper seeds typically take 14-30 days to germinate, depending on the temperature and growing conditions. Maintaining a soil temperature of 80-90°F can help speed up germination.
- Maturity time: Jolokia peppers usually take about 100-120 days from transplanting to reach maturity. The peppers will turn from green to red, orange, or yellow when they are fully ripe.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest Jolokia peppers is in the early morning when the temperatures are cooler. This helps to preserve the peppers' flavor and texture.
- Harvesting tips: Use sharp scissors or pruning shears to cut the peppers from the plant, leaving a small portion of the stem attached. Handle the peppers with care, as they are extremely hot. Store the harvested peppers in a cool, dry place or refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. Wearing gloves while handling the peppers is recommended to avoid skin irritation.
