Sow seeds about 1\/4 inch deep in a seed-starting mix and keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged. Provide warmth (70–85°F) for reliable germination, which usually takes 10–21 days. Once seedlings have true leaves and nighttime temperatures stay above 50°F, harden them off gradually before transplanting outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet plants in full sun and well-drained soil, spacing them 18–24 inches apart. Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist, especially during flowering and fruiting, but avoid overhead watering to reduce foliar issues. Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly; too much nitrogen can encourage leafy growth at the expense of fruit. Harvest peppers when they reach full size and desired color, typically green to red, using clean pruners or scissors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Heirloom Cherry Hot Pepper Seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67862011117878,"sku":"FSG-213","price":11.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7640974761_kpqo.jpg?v=1793267846","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-heirloom-cherry-hot-pepper-seeds-spicy-garden-vegetable","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
