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.

Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and mulch to retain moisture. Fertilize lightly when plants begin to flower. Peppers can be harvested when green or allowed to ripen to a full red color for maximum heat and sweetness.
