care instructions

Thinning:1 plant per pot

Pollination:Jalapeños should be hand pollinated. Remove the first flower buds that appear after about 4-6 weeks to encourage root and leaf growth. When the next flowers appear, hand pollinate them by gently shaking the entire plant or gently touching the inside of the flowers with your finger or a small paintbrush.
Caution! If you pollinate other pepper and chili/pepper plants at the same time, never use the same finger or brush to avoid cross-pollination.

Pruning:The jalapeño plant should be pruned every now and then to prevent its branches and leaves from obscuring other plants. Check the roots monthly and prune them back by about 1/3 if necessary.

Harvest:Jalapeños can be harvested and eaten both green and red. The longer you let them ripen, the hotter they become. To harvest, simply cut them off at the stem of the fruit.

Characteristics

The jalapeño, with its characteristic spicy taste, is rich in capsaicin, which is not only responsible for the spiciness, but also has anti-inflammatory properties. The vitamins A and C and antioxidants it contains support the immune system. Jalapeños can not only add flavor to dishes, but also stimulate the metabolism and thus have a positive effect on health.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    ARE THE SEEDS ORGANIC?

    All seeds at Everleaf are non-GMO and organically grown as much as possible. But don't worry, the plants you grow are still free of pesticides, fungicides, insecticides, plant hormones or other suspect substances! We have tested all the plants in our range long and hard to ensure that you have a successful growing experience.

    We also offer you the option to purchase empty plant capsules from us so that you can grow your own seeds and varieties.

    CAN I USE MY OWN SEEDS?

    Sure! We not only offer filled plant capsules, but also empty capsules so you can use your own seeds.

    WHAT IS THE SUBSTRATE MADE OF?

    For our substrate we only use 100% compostable coconut fibers - completely free of peat and therefore harmless to nature.

    WILL MORE VARIETIES BE OFFERED IN THE FUTURE?

    Of course! The current range is just the beginning. We are constantly testing new varieties and plan to offer more varieties before delivery. Shortly before delivery, you will have the opportunity to select your favorite varieties.

    How does the 100% germination guarantee work?

    If after 30 days one or more of your plants have not germinated, we will replace them without exception. To take advantage of this guarantee offer, please email us at hi@myeverleaf.com and attach a picture of the substrate split in the middle and the seeds visible. This will allow us to further analyze the reason for the lack of germination and improve our germination rates in the future.

    Since sustainability is important to us, we would like to ask for your understanding that the new plants will only be included with your next order. You do not need to do anything else; we will save this information and automatically send the promised plant with your next order.
