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 soon. Feel free to share your ideas for new plants with us!

    How does the 100% germination guarantee work?

    If one or more of your plants haven't germinated after 30 days, you will, of course, receive a credit for the affected plant – no exceptions. The amount will be credited to your customer account and can be automatically redeemed with your next order.

    To claim the germination guarantee, please email us at hi@myeverleaf.com and attach a photo of the substrate carefully torn open in the middle, revealing the seeds. This will help us understand the possible cause and continually improve our germination rates.

    Because sustainability is important to us, we don't ship non-germinated plants individually, but instead offset them with a credit note on your next order. This way, we avoid unnecessary packaging and transport – for the sake of the environment.
