A prolific producer of mildly spicy shishitos. Shishimai will bear an abundance of medium-green, 7-9cm (2.5-3.5”) thin-walled peppers that taste delicious sauteed or grilled with some coarse salt. Plants benefit from staking to support the heavy fruit load. Harvest pepper as soon as they size up, while still green, for continuous production through the season.

Latin Name Capsicum annuum, C. baccatum, and C. chinense
Difficulty Moderately difficult
Days to Sprout 10-21 Days
Days to Mature 60 Days
Starting Sow indoors 5mm-1cm (¼-½”) deep. Keep soil as warm as possible. Seedling heating mats speed germination. Try to keep seedlings at 18-24°C (64-75°F) in the day, and 16-18°C (61-64°F) at night. Before they become root-bound, transplant them into 8cm (3″) pots. For greatest possible flower set, try to keep them for 4 weeks at night, about 12°C (55°F). Then transplant them into 15cm (6″) pots, bringing them into a warm room at night, about 21°C (70°F).
Growing Soil should have abundant phosphorus and calcium, so add lime and compost to the bed at least three weeks prior to transplanting. Mix ½ cup of balanced organic fertilizer beneath each plant. Though peppers will tolerate dry soil, they will only put on good growth if kept moist. Harden off before planting out 30-60cm (12-24″) apart. Five gallon containers also work well, but require good drainage and regular irrigation. Using plastic mulch with a cloche can increase the temperature by a few degrees. Pinch back growing tips to encourage leaf production. This helps shade the developing fruits and prevents sun-scald in hot summers.
