Growing tips
Germination conditions:
- sowing depth: 5 mm
- optimum germination temperature: 25 to 30ºC
- germination time: 7 to 21 days
When to sow:
- indoor sowing 8 to 10 weeks before the last frost date in your region
Sowing technique: in pocket
In the same hole, sow 3 to 5 seeds, spacing them about 1 to 2 cm apart; when the seeds have germinated and the seedlings are 5 cm tall, keep all the plants if space is available, or keep only the best-looking ones. Transplant into individual containers while waiting to be transplanted into the garden.
Transplant outdoors:
- after any risk of frost, when the soil has warmed up.
Distance in the garden:
- between plants: 30 to 45 cm
- between rows: 60 to 75 cm
Plant height: 60-75 cm
Soil: rich, well-drained
Water: regular watering
Exposure: full sun
Days to harvest (after transplanting): 70-75 days for green chillies, 80-85 days for red chillies
Specificities:
- Poblanos are usually harvested when green, but you can also wait until they turn red at full maturity.
- pinch off the first flowers to make the plant more robust and to stimulate the production of leaves that will protect the fruit from summer sunburn on very hot days.
- can be grown in pots
