Sow seeds 1\/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix and keep consistently moist at around 75-85°F. Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into larger pots or harden them off and move them to the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Space plants 18-24 inches apart in full sun and well-drained soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid overwatering. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly when plants begin to flower. Harvest peppers when they reach the desired size and color—green for a crisp, mild heat, or red for a sweeter, slightly hotter flavor. Regular harvesting encourages continued production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Jalapeño M Pepper Seeds (Capsicum annuum).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776121143606,"sku":"FOLIA-203","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6653699284_kggx.jpg?v=1792467937","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/jalapeno-m-pepper-seeds-25-heirloom-capsicum-annuum-seeds-for-planting","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
