The 4-inch long peppers start as a vibrant shade of lime green and turn a deep red when they are ready to be picked. The peppers can be eaten raw, cooked, or canned. The upright plant is 10 to 12 inches tall and 10 inches wide. Upright growth habit and low maintenance plant. The hot red peppers measure 4 inches by 0.5 inches.
Kitchen Minis™ Hot Fajita Pepper Care
The Kitchen Minis™ Hot Fajita Pepper can be used as a patio centerpiece or functional decor on a balcony once the outdoor temperature is above 55 degrees. Hot pepper plants thrive in rich soil with a 6.0 to 6.8 pH. The soil should promote drainage so that the roots can dry out between watering.
Growing Kitchen Minis™ Hot Fajita Pepper
You will know the peppers are ready for harvesting when they are entirely red. It takes 95 to 110 days for the peppers to mature. The plants can be grown outdoors in a sunny spot when the temperature is consistently warm.
Growing Kitchen Minis™ Hot Fajita Peppers in Containers
The Kitchen Minis™ Hot Fajita Pepper is an upright plant, and the peppers hang down from the stems. Mature plants stand 10 to 12 inches tall and can comfortably live in 6- to 8-inch containers.
Watering Kitchen Minis™ Hot Fajita Pepper
Let the soil mostly dry out before giving the plant water. The top several inches should be dry before watering.
Feeding Kitchen Minis™ Hot Fajita Pepper
Hot pepper plants benefit from fertilizing using a balanced plant food with a ratio of 10-10-10 or something that has lower nitrogen, like 5-10-10. Fertilizer can be applied every 2 to 3 weeks.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
