Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Asian Hot is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Ideally plant in loamy and sandy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 7.0 and 8.5 as Asian Hot likes to be in neutral soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Growing Asian Hot from seed

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). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 18°C / 64°F to ensure good germination.

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

Transplanting Asian Hot

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Asian Hot is a tender plant.
