Chilli Habanero
Approximately 8 Seeds in the packet
Not for the faint hearted! This is one of the spiciest chillies in the world. A fantastic variety, producings small fruits around 2.5" long, that turn orange when mature. This variety is a great container plant.
Indoor Planting: Sow seeds 5mm deep in pots or trays of moist compost, store in a warm place at an approximate temperature of 24" (75f), once germination starts, the temperature can be reduced to 18-21C (65-70f). Do not exclude light as this helps the seeds germinate. Only water when dry. Once all chance of frost has passed, the plants can be transplanted into growing beds or patio tubs outside, harden off first. It would also be useful to cover with cloches for extra protection.
This variety can take a while to germinate, be patient.
Chillies do best in very mild conditions, therefore, it would be better to keep them in a greenhouse or indoors.
Caution: Use gloves when handling the fruits. Pick fruits to encourage more to grow.
Feed regularly with a tomato liquid fertiliser.
