Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
The Nadapeño Pepper is an heirloom variety that grows best in rich, well-draining soil, and regular watering. The plants prefer full sun, but can also appreciate a bit of afternoon shade during the peak of summer, especially in hotter regions.
When to Grow
Start Nadapeño seeds indoors in bright light 8-12 weeks before the last expected frost date in your area. Transplant seedlings outdoors only after the risk of frost has passed, and temperatures don’t drop below 65 F. We recommend checking local frost dates for an optimal planting time.
How to Sow and Plant
Sow Nadapeño seeds about 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting trays or small pots indoors. Seeds germinate best at soil temperatures between 80-85 F; a heating mat can help maintain these conditions. Place seedlings under grow lights or in a sunny window for strong early growth. Before transplanting outdoors, harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions. In the garden, space the plants 14-18 inches apart, or grow them in containers.
How to Grow
Water the peppers regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist but avoiding sogginess. Apply a balanced fertilizer at planting and switch to a low-nitrogen fertilizer when the plants begin flowering to support fruit development. While Nadapeño plants are generally sturdy, light support can help as the peppers grow and add weight to the branches.
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.
FAQ
Can Nadapeño peppers be grown indoors?
Yes, these peppers can be grown indoors if they receive sufficient light or are supplemented with grow lights. However, they often achieve better results outdoors in full sun.
Can Nadapeño peppers be used the same way as jalapeños?
Yes, Nadapeño peppers are perfect for recipes that call for jalapeños, such as salsas, stuffed peppers, or fresh toppings, without adding heat.
Do Nadapeño peppers change color when ripe?
Yes, like many peppers, Nadapeños start green and turn red as they reach full maturity, which can also enhance their sweetness.
