Keep the medium warm and consistently moist but not soggy. Once seedlings have developed true leaves and nighttime temperatures stay warm, harden them off gradually before transplanting outdoors. Space plants about 18 to 24 inches apart in full sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly to keep soil evenly moist, and mulch to help retain moisture and suppress weeds. Feed lightly through the season and harvest peppers when they reach full size for fresh eating. Picking fruits regularly encourages continued production. Protect plants from cold temperatures, as peppers are sensitive to frost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing includes 250mg of Shishito pepper seeds (non-GMO).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824778772790,"sku":"FOLIA2-1235","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6537977727_56f8.jpg?v=1793004595","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/shishito-pepper-seeds-250mg-mild-non-gmo-japanese-pepper-seeds","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
