Numex Big Jim - Hatch Green Chile Pepper

Problem Germinating

I still give Thresh a 5 star review. Quick service etc. The fault here was with the customer (yeah that would be me) I mistakenly assumed all I had to be sure of was that all danger of frost was past. Nope - these seeds need soil that is @ 90 degrees F. They like HOT weather - not warm and pleasant weather. Anyway once I compsensated for that (starting the seeds under a grow light with a heater underneath the little germination pots) all was fine. Before that I think that only one seed managed to germinate.

Germination issues

I started 18 seeds but only 10 popped

Hardly any germinated.

So far I have had 2 plants germinate out of 20+ seeds. Very disappointed. The only saving grace is the two plants that did germinate. I will harvest their seeds for next planting.
