How To Grow Mini Chocolate Pepper From Seed: Peppers do best when grown in pots in a greenhouse as they require plenty of heat. Using a seedling module or small pots, sow 2 seeds in each cell/pot. Cover lightly with compost and keep moist. The seeds should germinate after 2 to 3 weeks. After germination, keep only the strongest seedling in each cell/pot. Pepper seed germination will be best if kept at room temperature while germinating. 

When the seedlings get their first true leaves, pot them on into a larger pot. Repeat this as the plant grows, giving it a bigger pot as it grows. This mini pepper does not require a very large pot.

After the plant flowers, the peppers will start to grow. They will turn from green to purple as they ripen. They can be harvested once they are fully developed, even while still green.
