How to sow Padrón Pepper seeds
Soak seeds in lukewarm water for 6–12 hours before sowing. Sow in seed trays at 0.5–1 cm deep, keeping the substrate moist but not waterlogged. Germinates best between 20–28 °C, with seedlings appearing in 7–14 days. Transplant when seedlings have 4–6 true leaves, leaving 30–40 cm between plants. Prefers full sun, regular watering, and light fertilization for optimal fruit production.
