Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
The Brown Jalapeño pepper is an heirloom variety that grows well in garden beds and containers alike. It thrives in full sun with rich, well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0–7.0). Starting seeds indoors with a heat mat and grow lights will help produce strong, healthy seedlings.
When to Grow
Start seeds indoors 8-12 weeks before your region’s last expected frost date. Transplant outdoors once the soil has warmed and temperatures don’t drop below 65 F. In USDA Zones 8-11, Brown Jalapeño peppers can be grown as perennials, while in cooler zones, they should be treated as annuals.
How to Sow and Plant
Sow Brown Jalapeño seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix and maintain a consistent soil temperature of 80-85 F for best germination, which generally takes 10-14 days. After seedlings develop two sets of true leaves, harden them off and transplant them outdoors, spacing plants 14-18 inches apart in beds or large containers with compost-enriched soil.
How to Grow
Brown Jalapeño peppers require full sunlight—preferably 8-12 hours daily. Keep soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging. Mulching around the plants can help regulate soil temperature and retain moisture. These peppers benefit from balanced fertilizer every 2-3 weeks during the growing season to support flowering and fruit production. Pruning excess foliage may improve air circulation and encourage larger 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.
- 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.
