How do I grow ghost peppers?

Ghost peppers, also known as Bhut Jolokia's peppers, are originally from the northern regions of India and are one of the hottest chili peppers. It may be somewhat difficult to grow ghost peppers, because they really do only in conditions that closely mimic their native habitat. The most important thing to be understood is that from the moment the seeds are germinating to the point where the peppers are harvested, the plant must be kept in constantly warm temperatures, humid soil and relatively high humidity much longer than most other pepper plants. This is very important for gardeners who want to grow ghost peppers for the heat of fruit, because cold weather, dry soil and lack of sun dramatically reduce the heat of peppers. How difficult it can be to germination of the plant, once it is stiffened and grows, tends to reduce flowers, dry and cannot pollinate if the conditions are not as close as possible to optimal.

The first obstacle that crosses in growing ghost peppers is to get seedsFor germination, if seedlings are not available - unusual in most garden centers since 2011. The seeds must be placed in warm soil - as close as possible to 85 ° Fahrenheit (30 ° C), but not outside the range of 75 ° F to 90 ° F (approximately 24 ° C to 32 ° C). The soil must be maintained moist and from sunlight. Electric seed seed pad can be used to increase the soil temperature. In some cases, the seeds can be prepared for germination by soaking the hydrogen peroxide before planting.

As soon as the seedlings germinated and begin to grow, they must eventually be hardened if outdoors are planted. Although some plants may be inserted into the ground after the last frost in the area, it can be too early for ghost peppers. In order to grow ghost peppers outside, the temperature must be at least 70 ° C (21 ° C). Younger plants are more resistant to cold, but will grow lengthy and sparse if the night temperatures fall too much, which will emphasize the plant. GrowthGhostards can take a long time, usually between five and nine months, and in some areas there is a clear chance that plants will not remain in the normal growing season.

Many gardeners decided to grow ghost peppers inside. For this purpose, plants require constant heat and humidity levels of at least 70 percent for as much as possible. They also need at least eight hours of sunlight from a full spectral bulb. Plants tend to require root more space than other peppers, so the use of excessive flower pots can help keep the plant happy. The fertilizer may be used, but it should be balanced because adding too much nitrogen to the soil can cause the plant to grow bushy leaves, but to produce very little fruit.

Ghost pepper plant can produce flowers, but not produce no pods. This can be because ghost peppers are not easily pollinated. The only solution is to pollinate flowers manually or try to introduce the pollinators of this area. IfAll phases needed to grow peppers went well, a large amount of fruit should be produced at the end of the season. An important thing to remember is not to process peppers with bare hands in harvesting, because there is a chance that some of the capsicum can get on their hands, causing burning anywhere.
