Basic Information -

Serrano peppers are generally green peppers ranging from 10,000-25,000 on the Scoville Heat Unit scale. This makes them a relatively spicy pepper. Our favorite way to use this pepper is in a sauce or a salsa, if you can take the heat!

 

Growing Conditions -

Serrano peppers thrive under the following growing conditions:

• Temperature Range: 60-80 °F
• Light: 6-8 hours daily (more heat and sunlight tends to make for spicier peppers)
• Soil: well-drained, sandy/loamy
• Water: deep watering is preferred

To effectively harden and transplant your vegetable, consult the instructions via the QR code included with the plant.

 

Harvesting -

Days to Maturity: around 80 days

You will know your pepper is ready to harvest when it is 1-4 inches long - it will get sweeter the longer it is on the plant. Like all peppers, be sure to cut the vegetable from the plant rather than pulling it off.
