Mako Ghana Yellow Chili Seeds

Information: Mako Ghana is a fantastic, very hot and rare chili pepper from Ghana in Africa. The chillies are up to 7 cm long, are slightly ribbed and thin-walled and mature to a beautiful yellow-orange colour. The have a unique fruity flavour with elements of pineapple and melon and an intense heat. This chili is perfect freid and ground as a spice in hot cooking, or freshly processed in a hot sauce along with fruits like mango, pineapple and the like.

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.
