Serrano Pepper is a popular medium-heat chili pepper commonly used in Mexican cuisine. It is known for its bright, crisp flavor and moderate heat level, making it a favorite for salsas, sauces, and garnishes. The plant is relatively easy to grow, producing small, elongated peppers that turn from green to red when fully ripe.
Planting season: Spring to early summer Germination time: 7–14 days Position: Full sun, well-drained, fertile soil Days till maturity: 60–80 days Plant height: Up to 60 cm
Growing instructions:
Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost date. Keep the soil warm (around 25–30°C) and consistently moist for successful germination. Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, spacing them 30–40 cm apart. Water regularly and feed with a balanced fertilizer. Harvest the peppers when they reach their full size and color, typically green or red.
