Growing Tips
Aleppo peppers are heirloom chili varieties from Syria that are relatively easy to grow and reach about 4 feet tall, producing slender pods that mature to a deep red color. They appreciate a bit of afternoon shade during the hottest summer weather and thrive in rich, well-draining soil​.
When to Grow
Aleppo peppers have a long growing season and require starting indoors 8-12 weeks before the last frost. Transplant the seedlings outdoors once the risk of frost has passed and temperatures are consistently above 70 F. This typically gives the peppers enough time to mature​.
How to Sow and Plant
Start the seeds indoors in a well-draining seed-starting mix, keeping the soil temperature between 80-85 F for optimal germination, around 10-14 days. Transplant seedlings to the garden once they are 4-6 inches tall, spacing them about 14-18 inches apart. Aleppo peppers prefer full sun and well-draining soil with a pH of 6.0-6.8, enriched with compost​.
How to Grow
Aleppo peppers thrive with consistent watering—keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks, especially when the plants begin to flower. These peppers can benefit from staking to support their growth as they bear fruit​.
How to Save
- Peppers are mainly self-pollinating, but bees occasionally work pepper flowers as well.
- To be absolutely sure that you will not have any crossing, different varieties should be isolated by at least 500 feet.
- To save seed, allow the fruit to mature fully; then simply remove seeds.
- It is a good idea to wear gloves when working with very hot peppers, and to consider wearing a mask when working with a large quantity of dried seeds.
- Let seeds dry for a week before storing them in a jar.
- Pepper seeds will remain viable for up to 5 years.
