Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
The Aji Mango pepper is a flavorful heirloom variety from South America that is highly productive— reaching up to 3 feet in height. As pepper seeds can be a bit challenging to germinate, you can use a heat mat to help warm the soil and speed up germination.
When to Grow
For best results, start Aji Mango seeds indoors about 8-12 weeks before the last frost date. These plants do best when transplanted outdoors once temperatures consistently stay above 70 F, making them ideal for late spring planting. In USDA Zones 9-11, they may produce year-round if protected from frost.
How to Sow and Plant
Sow Aji Mango seeds about 1/4 inch deep in moist, well-draining seed-starting soil, maintaining a warm environment around 80-85 F for successful germination. It usually takes 10-14 days. After germination, transplant seedlings to larger pots or directly into the garden, spacing plants about 14-18 inches apart. They thrive in full sunlight with nutrient-rich, well-drained soil.
How to Grow
Aji Mango peppers require regular watering, though the soil should not be overly wet to avoid root rot. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks with a balanced fertilizer. As the plants grow taller, consider staking them for support, especially as they produce heavy fruit clusters. This variety is productive and may yield dozens of peppers per plant in a single season.
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.
FAQ
How hot are Aji Mango peppers?
Aji Mango peppers are moderately hot, ranging from 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville Heat Units, making them milder than habaneros but hotter than jalapeños.
Can Aji Mango peppers grow in containers?
Yes, they grow well in containers as long as the pot is at least 12 inches deep and they receive sufficient sunlight and regular watering.
Do Aji Mango peppers need pruning?
Pruning isn’t mandatory for Aji Mango peppers, but light pruning can encourage bushier growth and improve air circulation, which helps reduce pest and disease risks. Trim off lower leaves and any yellowing or crowded branches, especially if plants are close together.
