There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The seeds took a while to sprout, about 2 weeks, but I was able to get 6 seedlings going. I followed the instructions and began to thin out the seedlings at ~3 inches of height, leaving only one plant in the jar. I moved some of the other seedlings to other planters, but they don’t seem to grow as well as the one left in the jar.
Here are some tips, because I’m sure some of the bad reviews did not follow the instructions well enough. Thai peppers, like most spicy peppers, require very warm environments to grow. I live in New York, and started growing these in March, so it was still fairly cold. I happen to have grow lights so I stuck them under the grow light at night. In addition, I put the jar at a southern facing window where the sun exposure is abundant. Also, keep the lid on the jar until the seedlings sprout!! This is very important because it keeps the jar warm and humid for better germination! Watering is also very important because Thai peppers do not like dry soil. It’s also easy to keep track of the soil because the jar is clear. Don’t be afraid to thin out the other seedlings too! This plant needs a lot of space and you’ll be better off having one strong plant rather than five weak ones.
My pepper plant is growing so well, can’t wait for it to start flowering! I attached a picture after I thinned out all the other seedlings, leaving just one plant in the jar.
Update: peppers are growing great and ripening well too! :)
