Carbonero Chili Seeds

Info: The Carbonero chili is a cross between a Bhut Carbon and a Habanero and is correspondingly hot with a delicious fruity flavour. The plants grow bushy and solid and are very productive. The chillies are elongated like a Bhut Jolokia, but with a smooth skin and ripen to a warm orange colour. They have the typical Bhut Jolokia flavour with a sweet and fruity note. They are great for making hot sauce or a fantastic chilli powder.

Care: The germination temperature is between 20 und 28°C (7 - 21 day germination period), therefore the use of a greenhouse and a heating mat is recommended. 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.
