- Species and varieties: Hot pepper seeds belong to the Capsicum genus, which includes a wide range of species and varieties such as Capsicum annuum, Capsicum frutescens, and Capsicum chinense. Popular varieties include Jalapeño, Habanero, Cayenne, and Ghost Pepper.
- Hybrid or heirloom: Hot pepper seeds can be either hybrid or heirloom. Hybrid varieties are bred for specific traits such as disease resistance and uniformity, while heirloom varieties are open-pollinated and have been passed down through generations, often prized for their unique flavors and historical significance.
- Pruning and training: Pruning is not usually necessary for hot peppers, but removing the first few flowers can encourage stronger plant growth. Staking or caging may be required for taller varieties to support the plants and prevent them from falling over.
- Fertilization needs: Hot peppers benefit from a balanced fertilizer applied at planting and again when the plants start to set fruit. A 5-10-10 fertilizer (higher in phosphorus and potassium) is often recommended. Avoid over-fertilizing with nitrogen, as it can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of fruit production.
- Hardiness zones: Hot peppers are typically grown in USDA hardiness zones 9-11. However, they can be grown as annuals in cooler zones or started indoors and transplanted outside after the last frost.
- Climate requirements: Hot peppers thrive in warm climates with plenty of sunlight. They require temperatures between 70-85°F (21-29°C) for optimal growth. They prefer well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0.
