Peppers take 14 to 21 days to germinate because of a slow process. But, hot peppers are one step ahead - they need almost three weeks to germinate. When the first set of leaves appear and thin seedling converts into the strongest one, plant them in large containers (when they are ready to go into it). Make sure to leave a space of 18 to 24 inches between two plants (depending on variety), whether you start from Bonnie plants or seedlings. When you have done all the plantation, thoroughly water the plants, focusing on their roots.
Support the pepper branches because they can break under the weight during summer storms. So, use a stake or a small tomato cage to support them at planting time.

After plantation, don’t forget to love them. Peppers need a constant moisture soil, so water them whenever it seems that the soil top layer is dry. Check the soil regularly and water accordingly. If you have a busy schedule, then use a drip irrigation system.
