Caloro Chili Seeds
Info: The Caloro Chillies from Mexico are bushy, grow up to approx. 80 cm in height, and are very high yielding. Their approx. 5 x 12 cm large, mild fruits ripen from green to cream coloured/orange to red.
The Caloro Chili is a very versatile variety which can be used in a whole range of dishes. It has a mild flavour which is almost fruity-sweet when fully ripe. Due to their thick, juicy fruit walls, they are suitable for fresh consumption, as an addition to salads, and for stuffing and pickling.
Care: The germination temperature is between 20 und 28°C (7 - 20 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. If you plant them outdoors, the plants should have a distance between them of approx. 30 cm.
You can find plenty of useful tips for successfully growing chili plants in our Chili Growing Guide and in the Chili Journal.

Falsche Lieferung oder Falsche Beschreibung
Wie auch schon bei einer anderen Chili habe ich leider auch hier anscheinend eine falsche Lieferung erhalten. Die Keimquote ist zwar seit gut (100%) und die Frucht sieht exakt so aus wie am Foto (reift von weiß nach rot ab!) ist aber deutlich schärfer als hier angegeben - geht eher in die Richtung Lemon Drop..
Entweder habe ich also eine falsche Lieferung erhalten oder die Beschreibung hier stimmt nicht. Beides ist sehr schade, denn ich hatte extra aus jeder Schärfestufe Samen bestellt. So ist es natürlich schwierig herauszufinden welche Schärfe zu wem/was passt.
Punkte Abzug wegen der Fehler - aber trotzdem noch 5/10 weil diese Chili trotzdem sehr lecker ist.
