Growing Tips for Organic Aji Lemon Drop Pepper Seeds:

  1. Planting: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix. Keep the soil consistently moist and maintain a temperature of 75-85°F for optimal germination.
  2. Transplanting: Once seedlings have at least two sets of true leaves and all danger of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors. Space plants 18-24 inches apart in rows 2-3 feet apart.
  3. Soil: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic matter. Maintain a soil pH between 6.0-7.0. Amend soil with compost or well-rotted manure before planting to improve fertility.
  4. Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid waterlogging. Deep watering once a week is ideal, especially during dry periods.
  5. Sunlight: Requires full sun (at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily) for best growth and fruit production.
  6. Support: Peppers benefit from staking or caging to support the plants and prevent branches from breaking under the weight of the fruit.
  7. Fertilization: Feed with a balanced fertilizer or compost every 2-3 weeks during the growing season to promote vigorous growth and abundant fruiting.
