Planting Season
- Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost, or sow outdoors after all danger of frost has passed.
- Best grown in warm temperatures between 70°F–85°F (21°C–29°C).
Planting Details
- Seed Depth: Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep.
- Spacing: Space plants 12–18 inches apart in rows 18–24 inches apart.
- Soil Requirements: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0. Enrich soil with compost for optimal growth.
- Sunlight: Needs full sun with at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily to thrive.
Care Instructions
Watering
- Water the plants regularly, ensuring the soil stays evenly moist but not soggy.
- Provide around 1–1.5 inches of water per week, adjusting for dry periods.
Fertilization
- Apply a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) at planting time and again once the plants are about 6 inches tall.
- Once the peppers begin to develop, switch to a fertilizer with higher potassium to encourage fruiting.
Weeding and Mulching
- Keep the area around the plants weed-free to reduce competition for nutrients.
- Mulch around the base of the plants to help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and maintain an even soil temperature.
Pest and Disease Control
- Pests: Watch for aphids, flea beetles, and caterpillars. Use organic insecticidal soap or neem oil to control pests.
- Diseases: Protect the plants from fungal diseases by ensuring good air circulation and avoiding wetting the foliage when watering. Rotate crops to minimize soil-borne disease risks.
Harvesting
Maturity
- Peppers typically mature 75–90 days after transplanting, depending on the variety in the blend.
- Harvest when peppers have reached full size and color. Peppers can be harvested green or left to ripen fully on the plant for a sweeter flavor.
Method
- Use scissors or pruning shears to cut the peppers from the plant, leaving a small portion of the stem attached to avoid damaging the fruit.
Storage
- Short-Term: Store fresh peppers in the refrigerator for up to 1–2 weeks.
- Long-Term: For long-term storage, peppers can be frozen whole or sliced. You can also dry them to create your own homemade chili flakes or ground pepper for seasoning.
Culinary Uses
- Salsas and Hot Sauces: Ideal for making fiery, flavorful salsas or homemade hot sauces with a Caribbean flair.
- Grilled and Roasted: Grill or roast peppers and use them as a topping for tacos, sandwiches, or salads.
- Marinades: Use the peppers to make spicy marinades for meats, seafood, or tofu.
- Pickling: Caribbean peppers are often pickled for a tangy, spicy addition to dishes like rice and beans, or served as a condiment.
