Varieties. Most hot pepper cultivars require long growing seasons. Red chili peppers require 85 days to reach maturity, while jalapenos need 70 days and cayenne peppers require between 70 and 73 days from the time of planting to the date of ripeness.
Jalapeno peppers are part of the pepper family. The care of jalapeno plants is only slightly different than most other pepper plants.They are grown and favored for their hot flavor. They are naturally rich in potassium and vitamins A and C. Due to the intensity of the pepper, people usually usually serve it as a condiment rather than a vegetable.f you use a staggered approach to planting, individual plants should be spaced 14 to 18 inches apart in all directions. Do not plant jalapeno pepper plants close to other types of peppers as the plants may cross-pollinate, causing sweet peppers to take on some of the heat of the hot peppers.
