Chili pepper 'Santiago'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Santiago is thought of as half hardy, so it will require protection in frosts and low temperatures. Planting Santiago in loamy and sandy soil with a ph of between 7.0 and 8.5 is ideal for as it does best in neutral soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.2 inches (0.5 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 1.95 inches (5.0 cm) between Chili pepper plants. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 18°C / 64°F to ensure good germination.

As Santiago is half hardy, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
