Chili pepper 'African Pequin'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. African Pequin is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. African Pequin needs a loamy and sandy soil with a ph of 7.0 to 8.5 (neutral soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 1.95 inches (5.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.2 inches (0.5 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 18°C / 64°F.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing African Pequin about 38 days before your last frost date.

African Pequin is tender, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
