Maya Flame Yellow Chili Seeds

Information: The Maya Flame Yellow Chili is a decorative, small variety which is an eye-catcher when grown on the windowsill or balcony. The bushy plants remain compact and small (approx. 45cm) and develop numerous upright growing, bright yellow and long fruits. The chilies have a moderate level of spiciness and can be used for cooking, pickling and drying.

Care: Germination temperature is between 22°C and 28°C (germination period: 8-21 days); it is therefore recommended to use a greenhouse and a heating mat. The plants need fresh, well-fertilised, permeable soil, and do not tolerate waterlogging. They should be planted in a sunny, protected place with at least 6 hours of sunlight - preferably more. Put the plants outside approx. 2 to 3 weeks after the last frost. As the plants have a particularly long maturation period, it is recommended to grow them in a pot, so that you can easily bring the plant inside when the temperature falls below 12°C during the day, allowing all the fruits to ripen. To keep the plant over the winter, cut it back by 20cm after harvesting and place in a light place where it is at least 15°C.
