Seeds will germinate in 7 - 21 days. Transplant seedlings into pots and grow until there are 6 true leaves on the plant. Plant them directly into rich soil, 30" apart, or into large 5-gallon containers. Pinch off the first couple of blooms on seedlings to encourage more blooms and chiles later. Harvest chiles when they are green. The chiles will turn red at full maturity if left on the plant for a couple more weeks.
