Planting & Care

Start Carolina Reaper seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in a seed-starting mix, keeping the soil consistently moist and warm (80-85°F) for best germination. Once seedlings have several true leaves and danger of frost has passed, harden them off and transplant outdoors in full sun. Space plants 18-24 inches apart in well-drained soil.

Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer every few weeks during the growing season. Provide support for heavy fruit loads if needed. Harvest peppers when they reach full color and firmness. Handle with gloves and avoid touching eyes or face when working with these extremely hot peppers.
