Growing Tips for Organic California Wonder Pepper Seeds

1. Planting: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date in your area. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in a quality seed-starting mix. Keep the soil warm, maintaining a temperature of 75-85°F (24-29°C) for optimal germination.

2. Transplanting: Once seedlings have at least 2-3 true leaves and the danger of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors to a sunny location with well-draining soil. Space plants 18-24 inches apart in rows that are 24-36 inches apart.

3. Soil: Peppers thrive in rich, well-draining soil with a pH of 6.0-6.8. Amend the soil with compost or well-rotted manure before planting to ensure robust growth and bountiful harvests.

4. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during flowering and fruiting. Water at the base of the plant to prevent leaf diseases and avoid water stress, which can cause blossom drop and misshapen fruits.

5. Fertilizing: Feed plants with a balanced, organic fertilizer every 4-6 weeks throughout the growing season. A fertilizer high in phosphorus and potassium will encourage strong root development and abundant fruiting.

6. Mulching: Mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and maintain even soil temperatures. This is especially important in hot climates, as peppers can be sensitive to extreme heat.

7. Support: As plants grow and begin to bear fruit, consider providing support with stakes or cages to prevent branches from breaking under the weight of the peppers.

8. Pest and Disease Control: Keep an eye out for common pepper pests such as aphids, flea beetles, and spider mites. Use organic pest control methods like neem oil or insecticidal soap as needed to protect your plants.

9. Harvesting: Harvest California Wonder peppers when they reach their full size and color, typically green but can also be left on the plant to ripen to red, which enhances their sweetness. Use sharp scissors or pruners to cut the peppers from the plant to avoid damaging the stem.
