Jamaican Hot Chocolate Chili Seeds

Info: The Jamaican Hot Chocolate Chili develops beautiful, shiny chilies similar to Habaneros in a deep chocolate brown. The spiciness is intensive and immediately effective, and the chilies have a unique fruity, sometimes slightly smoky flavour. They are ideal for beautiful, fruity-spicy dishes, but are also suitable for pickling and drying. The bushy, compact plants grow up to 90cm in height and are very high yielding.

Care: The germination temperature is between 22 und 28°C (12 - 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. 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.
