Frequently Asked Questions

My Aji mango leaves have silvery patches and the plant looks stunted—what pest is this and how do I treat it?
This pattern is most often thrips, which leave silvery scarring on foliage and can stunt young Aji mango plants. Spray both sides of leaves with insecticidal soap (or horticultural oil) and repeat every 5–7 days for 3 rounds; also remove badly damaged leaves to reduce reinfestation. If the problem is heavy, follow the label of an appropriate spinosad or azadirachtin product for peppers/Aji mango and rotate treatments so thrips don’t build resistance.
How do I know when to harvest Aji mango peppers?
Aji mango pods are ready at about 75 days when they have fully developed their mango color—typically orange to yellow-orange—and feel firm rather than rubbery. Taste-test one: pick when the fruit is flavorful and has reached the intended heat for your variety, not when it’s still green. Harvest by cutting the stem (don’t yank) to avoid breaking adjacent fruiting branches.

Sowing Tips

Soil Temperature

Direct sow or transplant when soil at planting depth holds 60°F for reliable germination and early growth.

Expert Note

Start warm (consistently) indoors, then transplant only when night temps stay reliably above 50°F and soil is at least ~60°F to avoid a slow, stunted start.
