Growing Hot Pepper Scotch Bonnet (Capsicum chinense) - day 12

Scotch Bonnet (Capsicum Chinense) seems to be very vigorous - I germinated fresh seeds taken straight from the fruit bought in the grocery shop.
This is day 12th from the day the seed was placed in the small turf-pot for ensuring better germination temperature - it should be about 23C/73F.
I place little pots in small plastic containers, to make the conditions moist enough and then I place it on the heater. It takes 10 days to make seeds germinating.

Growing Scotch Bonnet (Capsicum chinense) - day 11

This is Day 11th. I pinched the second germinated seed to make proper room for the bigger=stronger seedling of Scotch Bonnet.

Growing Scotch Bonnet Pepper (Capsicum Chinense) - day 10


From six seeds, after 10 days in temp. 25C, 2 seeds germinated. We wait for the next ones.
Scotch Bonnet (naga morris) is one of the hottest peppers in the world, cultivar of habanero chilli . This pepper is so hot, that 2 sq cm added to the regulat 3 persons salad, makes it very spicy.
Hot Scale 7 in Scoville Scale.
