Sow seeds about 1\/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix and keep the soil evenly moist. Germination typically occurs in 7–14 days when soil temperatures are between 75–85°F. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into larger pots or harden them off gradually before moving outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a sunny spot with well-drained soil and space plants 18–24 inches apart. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, and apply a balanced fertilizer according to package directions. Mulching around plants helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. Peppers are ready to harvest when they reach full size and desired color, typically 70–85 days after transplanting. For the sweetest flavor, allow fruits to ripen fully to red.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 California Wonder 300 Sweet Bell Pepper seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67726882472246,"sku":"BOTAN4-123","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7633252548_rcdp.jpg?v=1791980193","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/california-wonder-300-sweet-bell-pepper-seeds-heirloom-non-gmo-25-seeds","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
