Jalapenos are a hot weather plant. They require fairly moist alkaline rich soil, and direct sun, for ideal development. The jalapeno plant can grow between the heights 50-100 cm inches. Jalapeno plants require regular watering, and flourish in moist soil, though overwatering will impede their fruit development, and growth. The dusty looking striation lines that form on jalapenos are commonly misconceived as a flaw in the pepper. In reality these are healthy indicators that the pepper is ready to be picked.
