Bonnie Plants Serrano Pepper 19.3 oz. 4 Pack

These were in excellent shape and performed better than ones I bought locally. I'll be using Amazon next year for all my seasonal plants.

I am amazed at the condition these seedlings showed up in. Besides being a little dry they were perfect! No damage and very healthy. I’m going to slowly move them to my garden.

Came alight. Did not get delivered the first time. Plants looked ok.

I am a retired earth science teacher with 50 years of gardening behind me, and who thinks these Serrano pepper plants deserve more five star ratings with more details than they have gotten so far. First, they come packaged very nicely, (as if someone carefully engineered the packaging for mail orders, lol.) Second, these peppers have a stated maturity of 80 days, but who can wait for mature peppers? ...I ordered these plants on April 9, 2021, got them on May 6, and picked my first pepper on June 25, 2021 (because it looked full sized, lol). With many smaller fruits developing on each plant, it is June 30, and I can eat at least a pepper every day for the foreseeable future...however, my neighbors are noticing my lovely peppers and "sharing is caring," so I bought four more plants today so we can all eat these, rofl. Personally, I like the gentle heat and productivity of these peppers, but Bonnie Plants' sweet banana peppers have a better pepper flavor, so the ideal bite has a bit of aged Wisconsin or New York cheddar plus a bit of each, Serrano pepper and banana pepper, (imo anyway.) As noted in the plant's description, these peppers love being in containers, either plastic or terra cotta. (Generally, bigger pots lead to bigger plants in my past experience.) I grew these under plant lights until the temperature got warm outside. This summer so far has had very warm (~90 degrees Fahrenheit) and humid spells (with dewpoints in the upper 60s), alternating with cool spells (in the low 40s at night), and these peppers seem fine with both. (I brought them inside when lows were in the 30s, however.) Also, I blend my own potting soil using dense, composted manure and low density peat-based potting mix, with vermiculite or perlite added as needed to get good tilth. (Good tilth means you can squeeze the potting mix in your hand into a soil ball, but if you thunk it with the index finger of your opposing hand it breaks apart.) ...I do this because different companies make different "potting soils," with VERY variable ingredients and tilths, so I mix my own, adding rock phosphate powder for better fruit development, Azomite for micronutrients, and a little bit of 4-4-4 (Jobe's organic fertilizer), thus making all my peppers "organically grown peppers," as they require no pesticides (except, possibly, later on, a bit of water with olive oil and a drop of dish soap for aphids if I bring them inside for whatever reason, like the inevitable fall frost.) I do also mulch my peppers and tomatoes with grass clippings to avoid soil splash and its related diseases.

One of the stems came broken. Would not order again.

These show up at the door when I was able to get to them later that evening the grow media was so dry it was spread through out the protective container. Been 4 or days and still trying to get them back in a healthy state. They were wattered immediately upon opening the package.

I got lots of veggies

If I could give a lower rating I would I did not get the pepper I ordered, Serrano , I wanted HOT Chili’s but got banana peppers. The cost was high and I will never order from them again
