Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water: Peppers require deeply-worked, well-drained soil with plenty of added organic matter and a pH of 6.0-6.8. The habanero should be watered only when dry. Overly moist soil and roots will produce bitter-tasting peppers.
Planting & Growing: Start seeds indoors 8 weeks before the last frost. Direct seeding is not recommended. Stake to keep fruit off the ground and mulch for disease and weed control. Habanero peppers germinate slowly, and must have warm, moist conditions.
Harvesting & Storage: Harvest the first fruits early to encourage continued production through the season. Cut (don't pull) the fruit from the stems.
