JXPXR Lemon Chili Pepper Seeds (20)

JXPXR Lemon Chili Pepper Seeds (Capsicum chinense) 20 seeds

Extremely hot chili pepper (around 2,000,000 Scoville Heat Units). A dark-leaved plant that can reach 1.5 meters in height, a very beautiful plant and very resistant to disease. The fruits start out bright black and ripen to dark green and finally to pale yellow.
Seed germination can be unpredictable if temperatures are not optimal (+15°C night and +20°C day), moreover the fruits are quite late.

WARNING: Don't forget to wear gloves even when sowing seeds, it is mainly the seeds that have the highest Scoville rating.

Sow in February-March in pots filled with fine seed compost in a heated greenhouse (25°C). Peppers need a high temperature at the beginning of their development, as well as some humidity, but not too much. Germination takes about 3 weeks.
Transplant in May into deep, loose soil in a warm, sunny location, sheltered from the wind, spacing plants 50 cm apart in all directions. Hoe, water, and mulch regularly.
If you do not live in a warm region, growing in a greenhouse is highly recommended.

Chili peppers will appreciate being planted alongside other solanaceous plants: Peruvian groundcherry, Balbis nightshade, peppers, tomatoes, etc.

Approximately 5 to 6 months after sowing, when the peppers are fully ripe.
Pick them as needed or dry them in the sun or in the oven.

Open-pollinated seeds harvested exclusively from the Pot'à'Jo garden, a 1500m² market garden combining horticulture and permaculture. Everything is cultivated there with deep respect for nature and its inhabitants. I have been cultivating my own seeds, from seed to seed, for years.
