Position:
Plant in an area with full sun, at least 6-8 hours for best results.
Size:
Bhut Jolokia can grow to a height of 80 centimetres tall. Space them about 75 centimetres apart from each other.
Soil type:
Moist, well-drained soil is perfect for chillies. Add plenty of compost to your soil.
Mix half a bag of our Volcanic Rock Dust (R25 per bag) and a bag of Superfrass.
(R20 per bag) for exceptional growth into your soil.
Fertilising:
Use our slow-release all plant fertiliser. Apply 1 teaspoon every 4-5 month.
Mulch:
Mulch regularly around the plant to retain moisture.
Watering:
Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist.
Staking:
Consider staking when your plants grow tall and skinny. This will give the plant upright support and protection against the wind.
