How to Grow and Care for Thin-Skinned Pepper Seeds

Planting:

• When to Plant: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost. Transplant them outdoors after the frost risk has passed and when temperatures are consistently warm.
• Spacing: Space plants about 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) apart to allow ample room for growth.
• Soil: Thin-skinned peppers prefer well-draining, fertile soil rich in organic matter. A soil pH of 6.0-7.0 is ideal for healthy growth.
• Sunlight: These peppers require full sun, with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth and fruit production.

Growth Conditions:

• Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid overwatering. Pepper plants dislike sitting in soggy soil, so ensure proper drainage.
• Temperature: Thin-skinned peppers thrive in temperatures between 70°F and 85°F (21°C-29°C). Ensure that the nighttime temperature does not fall below 50°F (10°C) to avoid stunting growth.
• Mulching: Apply mulch around the base of the plants to help retain moisture, keep the soil temperature consistent, and suppress weed growth.

Care:

• Fertilizing: Use a balanced fertilizer to support healthy plant growth, particularly during the early stages. Once the plants begin producing fruit, reduce the use of nitrogen to encourage fruit production.
• Pruning: Remove any dead or damaged leaves as needed, but avoid heavy pruning as peppers can be sensitive to cutting.
• Support: Thin-skinned pepper plants may benefit from some support to keep the branches upright as they begin to bear fruit. Consider using a simple cage or stake to provide structural support.

Harvesting:

• Harvest peppers when they reach full color and size, typically 60-90 days after transplanting, depending on the variety and growing conditions.
• For the best flavor, pick peppers when they are ripe but firm. Use scissors or pruning shears to cut the peppers off the plant, leaving a small stem attached.
• Peppers can be harvested before they are fully ripe and allowed to ripen off the plant, if desired.
