Grow your own Chilli Peppers / Hot Peppers
All chilli peppers are very sensitive to the cold, ensure plants are well established before planting out in a cold house or outdoors. Grow in a conservatory, greenhouse or indoors on the windowsill. Chilli peppers require high temperatures to produce the hottest chilies, 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 chillies are the hottest.
Scoville ratings are approx, 150,000+ is really hot!!!
Seed germination; 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 seeds will germinate at 25C but will take longer 30C is the preferred temp, Tepin, Pequin and Habanero types 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 seed & seedlings out of draughts.

The 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.
