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.

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.
