How to Grow
Start Jalapeño seeds indoors in a warm spot from January to April to give them the lengthy growing season they require. These chillies prefer sunny, sheltered conditions and well-drained soil for optimal growth.
Sowing
Sow the seeds indoors between January and April, ensuring warmth to encourage germination. This indoor start helps achieve earlier and longer harvests throughout the growing season.
Growing
Once seedlings have developed, pot them on into 25 cm containers and harden them off before transplanting outside from May to October. Providing sufficient space and support in containers or garden beds helps accommodate their perennial nature and growth habit.
Plant care
Water the plants regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, especially during warmer months. Feed the chillies once they start flowering to encourage fruit development, and pinch out the growing tips occasionally to promote bushier plants and a better yield.
