Pepper - Serrano Chili
Product Info
Small hot peppers, good fresh or dried. These 1-2" finger-shaped hot peppers can be picked green, or wait until they mature to red. Use fresh, canned, or dried. Great for salsa, and hot relishes. Use in Mexican and Western dishes. As with all hot peppers, remember to wear gloves or wash your hands thoroughly after picking or preparing these fruits.
Water: | Water frequently for 2 weeks after setting plants in the garden to establish a good root system. Do not allow pepper plants to wilt; this can stress your plants, reducing yields. A slow, deep watering at the roots about once a week is fine (including Mother Nature's contributions) unless your plants are wilting. |
Mature: | 75 days |
Harvest: | Fruits ripen from green to red and are useable and zesty hot in either color phase, but more commonly used green. HANDLE WITH CARE -- always wear gloves or wash your hands after handling hot peppers. |
