Description
This Habanero variety from Trinidad is called 7 pot, supposedly because one pod is sufficient to make 7 pots of food incredibly hot, and it has - for rather obvious reasons - also gained the nickname brain strain. The fruits have a wrinkled surface and look rather dangerous, judging from their appearance alone. And dangerous they are, with over 1,200,000 Scoville they belong to the hottest chili peppers on earth.

Sowing and care
Chili plants can be cultivated as annuals outdoors or as a perennial pot plant. We recommend hibernating the plants and cultivating them perennially as, especially in the second year, a plentiful harvest can be expected. Press the seeds into the seeding compost and keep them warm (approx. 24°C). Chili seeds need warmth for seeding – therefore, a heated plant propagator can be helpful. Grows well indoors. Loves sunny locations and nutritious soil.
