Planting & Care

Start Cubanelle pepper seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last expected frost date. Sow seeds about 1/4 inch deep in a sterile seed-starting mix and keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Maintain a soil temperature of 70 to 80°F for best germination, which typically occurs in 7 to 14 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into larger pots or harden them off gradually before moving to the garden after all danger of frost has passed.

Plant peppers in a sunny location with well-drained soil enriched with compost. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during flowering and fruiting. Mulching helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly when plants begin to set fruit. Harvest Cubanelle peppers when they reach full size and are still pale yellow-green for a mild flavor, or allow them to ripen to red for a sweeter taste. Regular harvesting encourages continued production.
