Grow some of the hottest chili 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. 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!!!
Chilli
Seed germination; Sow seeds 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 chili 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.
