Habanero Caribbean Red Hot Chili Seeds

A very colourful strain of habanero, Caribbean Red has a very unique flavour, much more potent than a typical Orange Habanero with a very pungent fruity aroma. 1 ¾ inches long by 2 inches wide wrinkled hot peppers. Treat this fireball with respect as it up to 400,000 SHU's.

The Caribbean red habanero is about twice as hot as a regular habanero. It matures in as little as 90 days, and is suited to northern climates and even to growing in a larger-sized container. This pepper is considered especially nice for decorative purposes as well, though you will want to harvest it eventually for the fruity flavour as a fine addition to extra spicy salsas and marinades and for some very hot sauces.

Growing Hot Peppers is very similar to growing Sweet Peppers and Tomatoes. For best
results it is advised to grow the crop indoors with heat. This means that crops can be
grown all year round with the correct temperatures.

Sowing & Growing
Sow the seed into compost either into a seed tray or into modules with a temperature
between 20-24oC and cover with a light layer of compost. Germination typically takes 14-
21 days. Cover the compost with clear plastic film which helps raise the temperature
aiding germination.
Once seedlings emerge they do not require quite as much heat, temperatures can be
reduced to 18oC by day and no lower than 16oC at night.

It is best to re-pot in stages before their final pot size. Once in final pot size plants may
need staking for support. Water regularly but be careful not to over water, surface of
compost can be allowed to dry out slightly between watering

Harvesting 90 days approx.
Hot peppers can be harvested from green or once ripened into yellow, orange or red. A
Hot Pepper?s heat usually intensifies with maturity. Once ripe fruits can remain on plant in
good condition until temperatures begin to drop.

Suitable for the vegetable garden, allotments and containers.

Be prepared to water well and supplement feed with high-potash feed during season. Regular feeding is recommended.
