Did you know that Serrano peppers are basically just a smaller version of jalapeno peppers? On the Scoville scale (a measurement of pepper heat), it rakes in between 5,000 to 23,000 Scoville units, making it slightly hotter than the jalapeno. Growing Serrano peppers is also similar to growing jalapeno peppers, and it's actually fairly easy
Choose a sunny spot as peppers love the sun and grow best when they’re warm.
Mix in mushroom compost or any other organic matter into your potting soil.
Space each plant about 14-16 inches apart and 2-3 feet apart in between rows.
Mulch well around the plant to keep soil moist.
Water regularly.
Once the fruits start to form, you may notice that the weight of the peppers may put a strain on the stem. To avoid this stress, tie the stems to stakes using pantyhose. Avoid using twine or twist ties as this may break the plant.
