Plant Care & Growing Tips

Growing cayenne peppers from our hot cayenne pepper seeds is a straightforward and enjoyable process. These plants thrive with adequate sunlight and consistent care, rewarding you with a prolific harvest. Start your seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date in your area. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep in a well-draining seed-starting mix. Maintain soil temperatures between 75-85°F (24-29°C) for optimal germination. Once seedlings have developed a few true leaves and all danger of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors to a sunny location.

Cayenne peppers prefer full sun, needing at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. They thrive in rich, well-draining soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Amend your garden beds with compost or other organic matter before planting to improve soil fertility and drainage. Water regularly, especially during dry spells and when fruits are developing, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases. Fertilize every 2-4 weeks with a balanced vegetable fertilizer once the plants start producing fruit. Support taller plants with stakes to prevent them from falling over under the weight of the peppers. These non-gmo pepper seeds will mature into resilient plants that can tolerate a wide range of conditions, making them an excellent choice for beginner and experienced gardeners alike.
