Use a well-draining seed-starting mix and maintain a soil temperature of 75-85°F (24-29°C) for best germination. Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into larger pots or harden them off for garden planting after the danger of frost has passed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProvide full sun and regular watering, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Fertilize lightly every few weeks to support healthy growth and fruit production. Stake plants if needed as they become heavy with peppers. Harvest peppers when they reach full color and size for the best flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Aji Amarillo pepper seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795541754166,"sku":"FOLIA2-444","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7194429715_2cxg.jpg?v=1792671446","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-aji-amarillo-pepper-seeds-peruvian-heirloom-chili-for-spicy-gardens","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
