Step 3: Transplant the Seedlings
Once seedlings develop several sets of true leaves, gradually acclimatize them to outdoor conditions. Transplant after the risk of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Space plants approximately 12–18 inches apart to provide adequate room for growth.

Step 5: Harvest the Peppers
Monitor the plants as elongated peppers begin developing. Harvest fruits when they reach their characteristic waxy yellow color for an earlier harvest, or leave them on the plant to develop orange and red shades. Regular harvesting can encourage continued fruit production.
