Did you know that chipotle peppers are dried and smoked jalapeno peppers? This cultivar boosts large peppers, that are on average 3 inches long. The plants also grow taller compared to other jalapeno varieties and grow well in containers or grow bags. Jalapenos are a popular choice for adding some heat to dishes as they have a Scoville rating of 2,000-5,000. They are usually harvested in the green stage and either used fresh, pickled, or dried. Wait for them to turn completely red if you want to dry/smoke them for chipotle peppers. 

Peppers are slow to germinate and slow to start growing to transplant size. I recommend to start seeds in pots/trays with a heat mat to speed up germination. Then start fertilizing weekly with half strength fertilizer once the first set of true leaves appear. Peppers are similar to tomatoes in that they like plenty of water and are heavy feeders. 

Peppers are perennial plants and can produce for several years if taken care of. In cold climates trim off all the leaves and bring in doors in a pot to over winter. Place back out doors once temperatures are nice and warm. In mild climates, pepper plants can be left out doors and might need to be covered on the coldest nights.
