Quick Facts (Grow Guide)

Botanical name Capsicum annuum — Cayenne (thin type)

Sowing method Start indoors 8–10 weeks before last frost; provide bottom heat. Transplant after nights stay >55°F / 13°C and soil is warm.
Sowing depth ¼″ / 6 mm (light cover; steady warmth)
Spacing 18–24″ / 45–60 cm between plants; rows 24–36″ / 60–90 cm (stake/cage for support)
Germination ~7–14 days at ~75–90°F / 24–32°C (heat mat helps)
Soil Fertile, well-drained; moderate feeding; keep evenly moist for thicker walls
Harvest Green in ~70–80 days from transplant; red-ripe ~85–100 days (sweeter & hotter).

Ways to Use

  • Air-dry or dehydrate, then crush into flakes or powder.
  • Blend into fermented or quick hot sauces.
  • Slice into pickles, stir-fries, and marinades.

Pro tip: Warm soils and steady moisture = steady heat and yield. Mulch, avoid heavy nitrogen, and harvest often. Wear gloves when processing ripe pods; capsaicin lingers on skin/tools.
