Planting & Care
Start Cubanelle pepper seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix and keep the soil warm (75-85°F) for best germination. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into larger pots or harden them off for the garden after the danger of frost has passed.
Peppers require consistent moisture but avoid waterlogging. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly when plants begin to flower. Harvest fruits when they reach the desired size and color; green fruits are typically harvested earlier, while red fruits are sweeter and more mature.
