They range from mild chilli peppers to some of the Worlds hottest chilli peppers to grow from seed. All our pepper seeds are germination tested to ensure we supply quality seeds. The worlds hottest peppers are not the easiest of chilli seeds to germinate but are well worth the time and effort in germinating them. We recommend a germination temperature of 30 to 32 centigrade for hot peppers Bhut Jolokia, Bih Jolokia, Red Savina, Habanero and Scotch bonnet chilli seeds. Our trial germination of Red Savina showed germination at 30 centigrade gave excellent results  while dropping the temperature to 27 centigrade slowed down the germination rate, increasing temp up to 30C seeds began to germinate. Growing chilli seeds on is best in gentle heat, germinating chilli seeds should be done in a heated propagator to maintain the constant temperature for germination.

Grow some of the hottest chilli peppers in the world from seed, we show you how to germinate your hot pepper seeds:-
 All hot chillies are very sensitive to the cold, ensure plants are well established before planting out in a cold house or outdoors, the warmer it is the more success you will have germinating chilli seeds and planting them out. Grow in a conservatory, greenhouse or indoors on the windowsill. Chilli peppers require high temperatures to produce the hottest chillies, too much water, nitrogen and low temperatures will reduce the pungency of the fruits. Fruit does not set below 15°C and above 33°C, flowers can also drop if night temp exceeds 25°C. The red chilli peppers are the hottest.
Scoville ratings are approx,   150,000+ is really hot!!!
Germinating chilli seeds; Sow early as some hot peppers can take 120+ days from transplanting to fruiting. Temp should be maintained at the indicated temp 25-30°C chilli seeds will germinate at 25C but will take longer 30C+ is the preferred temp, Tepin, Pequin and Habanero chillies can be slow and erratic to emerge (allow up 35+ days for germination) compost should not be too moist to prevent the seeds from rotting, keep chilli seed & seedlings out of draughts.

The chilli cultural information should be used as a guide only, I have found a number of different sowing techniques for the same seed from different sources there does not seem to be a standard. With this in mind you should use this website as a guide only, you probably already have a tried and tested way of sowing different seeds. As a rule of thumb the larger the seed size the more cover it requires, and fine seed like Lobelia Begonia etc requires no cover.
