Habanero Tabaquite Chili Seeds

Information: Tabaquite Chile, which originates from Trinidad and Tobago, is a yellow-orange variety with a pungency level of 9 to 10 out of 10. It needs a warm location and is therefore often grown in greenhouses. The mature chillies resemble the Scotch Bonnet, but are slightly more wrinkled. It has a fantastic flavour and is ideal for use in sauces or as a chilli powder.

Care: Germination temperature is between 24°C and 30°C (germination period: 8 - 20 days); it is therefore recommended to use a greenhouse and a heating mat. The plants need fresh, well-fertilised permeable soil and should not be left in standing water. They should be placed in a sunny, sheltered place with at least 6 hours of sunlight per day, if not more. The earliest time to place the plants outside is 2 to 3 weeks after the last frost. If grown in plant pots, you can also take care of them through the winter. It might be necessary to cut them back slightly and place them in a light place where it is at least 15°C.
