​Sowing method: from January to April, raise seedlings in propagators; they develop best at 25-30^oC in a sunny location. We recommend using a heated propagator, which will speed up germination and growth.

• Before sowing, soak the seeds in water for 30 min to soften their coat.
• Sowing depth: 1 cm. 
• Water regularly and do not allow the substrate to dry out completely. We recommend the specialised seedling substrate CANNA Terra Seed Mix 25 l.

Growing method: Chilli pepper is a tropical plant that requires warmth, moisture and sunlight.

Environmental requirements:

• Light - a sunny location receiving at least 8 hours of sun per day.
• Soil - rich in organic matter
• Humidity - do not let the soil dry out. Well-watered soil provides the air humidity plants need.
• Warmth - heat-loving (20-30^oC), does not tolerate low temperatures (<10^oC).

Plant the finished seedlings outdoors or in a greenhouse in May, once the risk of frost has passed. If necessary, newly planted plants can be covered with plastic for the first few weeks. This helps them acclimatise.
If you would like to grow it at home, you can browse the options for lighting, ventilation, grow tents, pots and other accessories.

Fertilisation: during the vegetative, flowering and fruiting stages. You can explore our extensive range of organic and mineral fertilisers here.

*After the outdoor season ends, plants can be moved indoors and continue to bear fruit.

Warning! Always wear gloves and safety glasses when cutting and preparing the fruit of extremely hot pepper varieties!
