Description
- Seed Starting:Seed germination is slow and takes 2 weeks to over 4 weeks. The seeds require a warm (85° F or 29.4° C) and moist environment to sprout. Light Requirements:Established Reaper plants require full sun. Soil Requirements:Soil should be slightly acidic, ph of 6 to 6.5, that is well draining and “light”.Protect roots from high temperatures. Mulch containers or garden to prevent roots from baking in the sun.
Water Requirements:Only water once soil is completely dry and just before leaves start to wilt. Extremely high temperatures can cause leaf wilt and can trick beginners into watering when not needed. This leaf wilt in high temperatures is a defense mechanism and water is not needed in this scenario. Check soil moisture before watering if unsure.
