Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Purple Perfume Cheiro Roxa is an heirloom pepper that grows best in warm conditions and full sun. The plant prefers rich, well-draining soil and moderate, consistent moisture. Using a heat mat during germination can help speed the process up.
When to Grow
Start seeds indoors 8-12 weeks before the last frost, as this pepper variety has quite a long growing season. Transplant outdoors only after all risk of frost has passed, and temperatures don’t drop below 65 F.. In cooler areas, an indoor start is especially important for the plants to reach maturity, while in warmer regions, transplanting in late spring can work well.
How to Sow and Plant
Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in a seed-starting mix and keep the soil at a temperature of 80-85 F during germination. Using a heat mat can help with this. Gradually harden the seedlings to outdoor conditions before transplanting, and space the plants 14-18 inches apart.
How to Grow
Water once or twice a week, adjusting based on conditions. Try to water at the base to keep foliage dry, reducing the risk of disease. Fertilize with a balanced formula at transplanting, then switch to a phosphorus-rich fertilizer once the plants start flowering to encourage fruiting.
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.
- 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.
- To save seed, allow the fruit to mature fully; then simply remove seeds.
- Let seeds dry for a week before storing them in a jar.
- Pepper seeds will remain viable for up to 5 years.
