Sow seeds about 1\/4 inch deep in a seed-starting mix, keeping the soil warm (75–85°F) and consistently moist. Germination typically occurs in 7–14 days. 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 location with well-drained soil. Water regularly, aiming for about 1 inch per week, and mulch to retain moisture. Fertilize lightly when plants begin to flower. Peppers can be harvested when green or allowed to ripen fully to red for a sweeter, more intense flavor. Use scissors or pruners to cut the fruits from the plant to avoid damaging branches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Large Red Cherry Hot Pepper seeds (heirloom, non-GMO).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67739752661302,"sku":"EDNA-193","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.8015213138_3efo.jpg?v=1792115083","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/large-red-cherry-hot-pepper-seeds-heirloom-non-gmo-25-seeds","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
