Sow seeds 1\/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix and keep soil temperature at 75-85°F for optimal germination, which typically takes 7-14 days. 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. Space plants 18-24 inches apart in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly, but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly when plants begin to flower.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarvest peppers when they reach desired size and color. For fresh use, pick when green; for drying, allow them to turn red on the plant. Wear gloves when handling hot peppers, as the oils can irritate skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e250mg of Ancho Poblano Pepper Seeds (approximately 40-50 seeds).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824779821366,"sku":"FOLIA2-1238","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6489796972_nh6g.jpg?v=1793004600","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/ancho-poblano-pepper-seeds-mild-smoky-chili-250mg","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
