Sow seeds 1\/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix and keep consistently moist at 70-85°F. Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant into individual pots and grow on in a sunny location. Harden off before transplanting outdoors after all danger of frost has passed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet plants 18-24 inches apart in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly once plants begin to flower. Pequin peppers are generally pest-resistant but monitor for aphids and other common pests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e500 Pequin Chili Pepper Seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"8 Store Seeds Sejahtera","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50377096659041,"sku":"Seeds - pequin chili pepper-60","price":27.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/0796\/7073\/files\/ganang20261106T17153.jpg?v=1794554797","url":"https:\/\/8storeseedsejahtera.store\/products\/500-pequin-chili-pepper-seeds-for-planting-heirloom-hot-pepper","provider":"8 Store Seeds Sejahtera","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
