5g/500pcs Chili Pepper Seeds, Facing Heaven Pepper Seeds, Bird's Eye Chili Seeds

Description: General instructions for planting bird's eye chili seeds:Seed Preparation: Soak the chili seeds overnight in warm water to help soften the seed coat and promote germination.Sowing Time: The best time to plant bird's eye chili seeds is in early spring or after the last frost if you are in a cooler climate. In tropical climates, they can be planted year-round.Soil Preparation: Use a well-draining seed starting mix. Bird's eye chili prefers a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0 to 7.0).Planting Depth and Spacing: Sow the seeds about 1/4 inch deep. If planting in trays, space them about an inch apart. If directly sowing into the ground or in pots, space them 2-3 feet apart to allow for growth.Watering: Water gently and keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Overwatering can cause the seeds to rot.Temperature: Bird's eye chili seeds need a warm environment to germinate, ideally between 80-90°F (27-32°C). Use a heat mat if necessary to maintain a consistent temperature.Light: After germination, seedlings require plenty of light. Place them in a sunny spot or use grow lights to avoid leggy growth.Transplanting: Once the seedlings have developed 2-3 true leaves and are strong enough, they can be transplanted to larger pots or directly into the garden if the outdoor temperature is warm enough.Fertilizing: Feed the plants with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season.Pest and Disease Management: Keep an eye out for pests such as aphids and spider mites. Use organic pesticides if necessary. Avoid wetting the foliage to reduce the risk of fungal diseases.Harvesting: Bird's eye chilis can be harvested when they turn bright red and are about 1 to 2 inches long, although some may prefer them when they are green.Growing conditions can vary depending on your specific climate and environment, so you may need to adjust these instructions accordingly. It's always beneficial to refer to local planting guides or seek advice from a local nursery for the best results.
