Dried Dragon's Claw Orange Fluo is a variety that arose spontaneously as a mutation of the classic red Dragon's Claw, standing out for its vivid fluorescent orange color.
plant, of the species Capsicum annuum, is small, with a maximum height of 45 centimeters, ideal for limited spaces and those looking for a compact pepper.
sowing should be done between February and March in a seedbed at 22-26°C, transplanting after the last frosts; being a still unstable mutation, germination may show some variability.
growing favors direct sun exposure and regular watering without waterlogging; the plant adapts well both to pots and open ground.
the fruits are fleshy and, at maturity, take on a characteristic fluorescent orange color, quite different from the red of the original variety it spontaneously mutated from.
waterlogging, which favors root rot, must be prevented, along with monitoring for aphids, especially under protected or container cultivation.
Dragon's Claw Orange Fluo has a medium to low heat level, around 25,000 SHU on the Scoville scale, with a sweet, not overly hot flavor: perfect dried and ground into powder or used for seasoning sauces.
dried and containing a moderate amount of capsaicin, it also retains carotenoids which, together with the specific pigments from the mutation, give it its characteristic intense orange color.
