HOW TO GROW
Hot pepper is a strong crop so cultivation is not difficult. All the seeds should be put into germination in the substrate or sand with proper irrigation. After 35 days, selecting only the strong seedling then transplant it to the garden field. On the 20th day after transplanting, we suggest removing all the leaves and side shoots below the second branch. This can effectively boost the flowering and fruit set. The yield of this hot pepper is heavy, so it requires a staking system or kind of supporting rope so as to keep the plant upright. Hot pepper requires good fertilizer. A sufficient base fertilizer and monthly side dressing is recommended
