    How To Grow

    Sowing and Growing Lemon Yellow Habanero seeds should be sown indoors or in a greenhouse approximately 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Plant the seeds in well-draining seedling trays or pots filled with a quality seed-starting mix. Sow the seeds to a depth of about 1 centimeter and keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Place the trays or pots in a warm, sunny location or provide supplemental lighting with grow lights to encourage germination. Once the seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves and all risk of frost has passed, transplant them into larger pots or directly into the garden, spacing them at least 30 centimeters apart. Provide adequate support for the plants, as they can grow to a height of 60-90 centimeters and may require staking to prevent them from toppling over. Water the plants regularly, ensuring the soil remains evenly moist, and fertilize every 2-3 weeks with a balanced fertilizer to promote healthy growth and prolific fruiting. With proper care and attention, Lemon Yellow Habanero peppers will thrive and produce an abundant harvest of fiery peppers to enjoy throughout the growing season.

    Harvesting

    When harvesting Lemon Yellow Habanero peppers, wait until they reach full maturity, typically indicated by their vibrant yellow color and firm texture. Using sharp scissors or garden shears, carefully cut the peppers from the plant, leaving a small portion of the stem attached. Handle the peppers with care to avoid damaging the delicate skin and causing bruising. Store harvested peppers in a cool, dry place or use them immediately in your favorite recipes to enjoy their fiery flavor.

    Seed Saving

    To save seeds from Lemon Yellow Habanero peppers, allow a few select peppers to fully ripen on the plant until they turn deep yellow and begin to slightly soften. Once ripe, carefully remove the seeds from the peppers, ensuring to separate them from any remaining pulp or flesh. Rinse the seeds thoroughly under running water to remove any residue. Then, spread the seeds out in a single layer on a clean paper towel or tray and allow them to air dry completely. Once dry, store the seeds in a cool, dry place in an airtight container until ready for planting in the next growing season.
