Sow seeds about 1\/4 inch deep in a seed-starting mix and keep the soil consistently moist at around 75 to 85°F for reliable germination. Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves and nighttime temperatures stay above 50°F, harden them off gradually and transplant into a sunny garden location.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater plants regularly, especially during flowering and fruiting, and feed with a balanced fertilizer if growth appears slow. Mulching helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. Peppers can be harvested green for a sharper flavor or left to ripen to red for a sweeter, slightly more intense heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Serrano Tampiqueño pepper seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67739760165174,"sku":"EDNA-292","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7743658372_a6t9.jpg?v=1792115284","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/serrano-tampiqueno-pepper-seeds-25-heirloom-hot-chili-seeds-for-mexican-garden","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
