Chilli Pepper Naga Flame seeds

Chilli pepper Naga Flame seeds grow into plants which have fruit in the heat order of just over 1 million SHU’s which gives it a place in our Super-Hot Chilli list. This places them in exactly the same heat range of the original Naga Jolokia, Ghost pepper and the Norfolk Naga.

Yes they are Super-Hot but less than half the heat of the Carolina Reaper and far less than the Chocolate Douglah, but there again, we don’t all want our throats burned out do we?

Sow the Naga Flame seeds in Jan or Feb as they have a long growing season so it is important to get them under heat asap.

You really need a propagator in order to germinate these seeds because they really do need heat in the order of 18 to 20 C and if you don’t have one then I strongly suggest trying something a tad milder.

Growing On: Keep the seedlings in a light position but shaded from bright sunlight. When they are large enough to handle transplant seedlings to larger pots 7cm (3in).

Transplanting: Once the seedlings are large enough to handle and flowers have started to appear, transplant into grow bags or large containers in the greenhouse. The plants will be approximately 10cm (4in) tall at this time. Feed weekly with liquid fertiliser – either tomato food or liquid seaweed for best results once the flowers have appeared.

NB: When preparing the fruit for cooking/eating please wash your hands afterwards and keep your fingers away from eyes and any “delicate” areas of your body.
