Little Bastard Seeds produce a compact superhot variety with disproportionately extreme heat, belonging to the species Capsicum chinense.
plant stays compact, 50-70 cm, also suited to container growing, and produces numerous small, bumpy fruits turning deep red at ripeness.
sowing should be done between February and March in a heated seedbed at 26-28°C: germination is slow, taking 2 to 5 weeks, and benefits from constant light.
transplanting takes place once seedlings have 4-6 true leaves and night temperatures are above 15°C, in full sun and fertile, well-drained, slightly acidic soil.
it should be watered regularly without waterlogging, and benefits from potassium-rich feeding during flowering to favor fruit set and heat.
it can be prone to aphids and spider mites under protected cultivation, as well as root rot in case of excess moisture.
the fruits have an extreme heat level, disproportionate to the plant's compact size, suited to hot sauces for true enthusiasts, handle with gloves.
like all chili peppers, it is rich in capsaicin, vitamin C and antioxidants, with metabolism-stimulating properties.
