Peppers require pollination. Flowers develop 4-6 weeks after sprouting. Remove the first set of flower buds that grow to encourage root and foliage development. When the next flowers appear, hand-pollinate them by gently shaking the entire plant to replicate the effects of wind, or gently disturb the inside of blossoms with your finger or a small brush. We suggest using our Plant Belt to support the plant and its heavy fruit as it matures.

These peppers need minimal pruning. Snip away yellow or brown leaves if they appear. Check the roots monthly and trim any that are brown or extending past the yPod.

Wait until the plant produces peppers measuring about 1 inch long and ½ inch wide. As the peppers ripen, they will change from green to a gorgeous lemon-yellow color. Harvest when yellow for peak heat by cutting each pepper at its individual stem.

Origin

Named for their bright yellow color, the Lemon Hot Pepper is a hybrid variety. Hybrids are grown by cross-pollinating different varieties, resulting in an array of unique shapes, sizes, colors, and flavors.
