Sow seeds 1\/4 inch deep in a sterile seed-starting mix, and maintain a warm, consistent temperature for best germination. Once seedlings have developed true leaves and the danger of frost has passed, harden them off gradually and transplant to a sunny location with well-drained soil. Space plants 18-24 inches apart to allow for good air circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly every few weeks with a balanced fertilizer. Peppers benefit from consistent moisture and warm temperatures; avoid overhead watering to reduce disease risk. Harvest peppers when they reach full color and size, typically 80-100 days after transplanting. Wear gloves when handling hot peppers and wash hands thoroughly afterward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Caribbean Red Habanero pepper seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67862008660278,"sku":"FSG-154","price":11.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7614527454_mh3z.jpg?v=1793267734","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/caribbean-red-habanero-pepper-seeds-25-heirloom-hot-chili-seeds-for-planting","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
