Capsicum Annuum

The yellow Bhut Jolokia has a sweet and fruity flavour and will light up your garden like a Christmas tree.  Bhut Jolokia are very rare and pack a nuclear punch in your mouth.

The pods start off green and then turn into a bright yellow colour.

Heat Factor: Until 2011 this was the hottest pepper, rating between 800 000 and 1 001 300 on the Scoville Heat units. Bhut Jolokia chilli pepper is 125 times hotter than a Jalapeno.

Chilli peppers grow best in hot climates and won’t tolerate frost and they enjoy full sun. The ideal growing temperatures are between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius.

This chilli plant is grown in a Root Stimulating Pot. It’s perfect for small properties or cold climates, as these pots are lightweight and easy to bring indoors during the winter. Additionally, it makes a wonderful gift when presented in a container!

Fertilising

Use our slow-release all plant fertiliser. Apply 1 teaspoon every 4-5 month.

Mulch

Apply organic mulch to your Bhut Jolokia all year round.

Use from 2 to 5 centimetres of pine bark mulch to protect the roots from UV damage and drying out. It retains moisture and maintains an optimal pH. Do not let the mulch touch the plant stem, as it may cause infection or rot.

Re-apply every 3-4 months.

Watering

Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist. In hot weather water your chilli in the RS Pot every day if no rain.

Staking:

Consider staking when your plants grow tall and skinny. This will give the plant upright support and protection against the wind.
