In this video, we go through the process of hardening off pepper plants and transitioning them to the outdoors. This process is critical when starting peppers from seed indoors.

The outdoor elements can cause stress to tender plants, so the transition to the outdoors must be done gradually. We start hardening off our plants around 24 weeks before moving them outdoors permanently. From there, we slowly increase exposure to direct sunlight, wind and fluctuating temperatures.
