Pequin / Piquin - Bird Pepper Seeds - Tiny Peppers with Super Hot Punch

Pequin and Chiltepin Seeds

Started the seeds exactly one month ago - 10 of each. Got about a 50% germination rate on both after two weeks. Seeds were surface sown in a 4" pot after a quick soak in a vinegar solution then covered with a baggie with vents. Tepins are growing well, but Pequins aren't doing much. It's been consistently over 100, so it may be the heat. Moved them inside under a grow light to see if a cooler environment helps. Have to say, even with the really slow growth on the Pequins, these have done better so far than any of this type seed I've tried in the past. Looking forward to getting them potted up and ultimately transplanted. Fingers are crossed. May get some more seeds to plant after temps drop a little in August.

Ready to see a new Pequin plant

I just planted my seeds after receiving a well packaged packet of seeds. Delivery was fast and planting info very clear and concise. My previous plant froze and the birds loved it.

Love these peppers!
