Dynamit Chili

Information: The chilli plant generally remains rather compact and forms a large number of fruits, which remain rather small but have an intensely aromatic, fruity flavour. They are ideal for use in sauces or for eating fresh. The pods look like raindrops and turn red-orange in colour.

The plant is very robust and is also suitable for the cooler north. There is nothing to stop it being grown outdoors. The chilli plant generally remains rather compact and produces a large number of fruits.

Care: Germination temperature is between 22°C and 26°C (germination period: 8 - 14 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.
