Pepperoni chili seeds should be started indoors in early spring, and then transplanted outside once the temperatures are consistently warm. In greenhouses, year-round production is also possible.
What are the ideal growing conditions for pepperoni chilies?
Pepperoni chilies thrive in warm conditions, ideally between 20–30°C (68–86°F), and require well-drained soil and full sun for optimal growth.
Water pepperoni chili plants regularly, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. A deep watering once or twice a week is usually sufficient.
Pepperoni chilies are vulnerable to aphids, whiteflies, and fungal diseases like powdery mildew. Proper pest control, good air circulation, and crop rotation can help minimize these risks.
Pepperoni chilies typically germinate in 7 to 14 days and reach maturity in 70 to 90 days, depending on growing conditions and variety.
Store pepperoni chili seeds in a cool, dry, and dark place, preferably in an airtight container to maintain their viability.
