Tabasco Pepper Seeds

To Germinate:  soak the seeds overnight in warm water, then plant them in a seed starting mix, keeping the soil moist and warm with a temperature around 70 to 80 degrees F, and place them in a sunny location or under grow lights; expect germination within a couple of weeks; you can also use a paper towel method by placing seeds on a damp paper towel, folding it, and keeping it in a warm, dark place until germination occurs.

Type of soil: grow best in well-drained soil with a pH of 6.2 to 7.0 that is rich in organic matter. You can improve your soil by adding compost, peat moss, or other organic material. You can also make your own potting mix with a ratio of one-third garden soil, one-third compost or cow manure, and one-third sand.

Fertilizer: 5-10-10, fertilize every 2-3 weeks.
