Yellow Bull's Horn Pepper
Here are some short tips for seeding Yellow Bull's Horn Pepper seeds:
-
Planting Time: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Transplant outdoors after all frost danger has passed and the soil is warm (70-85°F or 21-29°C).
-
Soil: Use well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. Add compost to improve soil fertility.
-
Sowing Depth: Sow seeds ¼ inch deep and space them 1-2 inches apart. Thin to 18-24 inches apart once seedlings are large enough to handle.
-
Temperature: Keep soil temperatures between 70-80°F (21-27°C) for optimal germination and strong seedling growth.
-
Watering: Water consistently to keep the soil moist, but not soggy. Once established, water deeply but less frequently.
-
Sunlight: Plant in a sunny location with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day for best fruit development.
-
Transplanting: Transplant seedlings outdoors once they have 2-3 sets of leaves and nighttime temperatures are consistently above 50°F (10°C).
-
Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer or compost during the growing season, especially once fruiting begins. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers.
-
Pest Control: Watch for aphids, spider mites, and other common pests. Use organic treatments like neem oil or insecticidal soap if needed.
-
Harvesting: Harvest when peppers are fully yellow, firm, and mature, typically 70-90 days after transplanting.
Happy gardening!
