Kiss Of Salsa Chili Seeds

Information: The Kiss of Salsa Chili is a small growing variety with upright growing small chillies. These ripen from a dark purple to a bright red. The plants only grow about 30 cm tall and are perfect for the balcony or windowsill. The chillies are suitable for drying and making chilli powder as well as for fresh consumption and pickling.

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.
