Hot Apple Chili Seeds
Info: The very rarely offered Hot Apple Chili is a real beauty. Under optimal growth conditions, the plants can grow up to 2 metres and develop large amounts of small and large apple-shaped, slightly furrowed fruits. The long peppers ripen from green to a beautiful orange-red colour. They have a medium level of spiciness and are excellent dried and made into a delicious chili powder. Fresh Hot Apple chilies are suitable for seasoning and for milder chili sauces.
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 at least 40 cm
