Growing Tips
The Orange Spice jalapeño grows best in well-draining, rich, slightly acidic soil. The plants require full sun for 8-12 hours daily; however, they also appreciate a bit of afternoon shade during the peak of summer. During germination, you can use a heating mat to help keep the soil around 80 F.
When to Grow
Begin seeds indoors 8–12 weeks before the final frost date. Transplant seedlings outdoors only after temperatures consistently stay above 65 F. Orange Spice jalapeños perform best in USDA Zones 5–10, offering a long harvest season of colorful, flavorful peppers.
How to Sow and Plant
Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in a well-draining seed-starting mix, and water gently to keep soil evenly moist. Once seedlings reach 3–4 inches, transplant them to the garden, spacing them 14-18 inches apart in full sun and nutrient-rich soil. For container growing, a pot of at least 3 gallons with drainage is ideal.
How to Grow
Orange Spice jalapeños require 8-12 hours of sunlight per day. Water consistently but allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings to prevent root rot. Fertilize every 3–4 weeks with a balanced fertilizer, reducing nitrogen as the plant begins to fruit. This variety may need staking to support its high yield of peppers.
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.
