1. Sow Indoors: Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost in a well-drained seed-starting mix. Lightly cover the seeds, as they need light and warmth to germinate.

2. Germination: Keep the soil consistently moist and expect germination in 7–14 days at 70–80°F.

3. Transplanting: Once seedlings are large enough to handle and after the last frost, transplant them outdoors, spacing plants 10–12 inches apart.

4. Light: Provide full sun for optimal growth and fruiting.

5. Watering: Water regularly, ensuring the soil stays evenly moist but not waterlogged.

6. Harvesting: Harvest peppers when they turn chocolate-brown and are firm, typically 65–75 days after transplanting.
