Description
Naga Morich is chili from Assam and Bangladesh and is considered a local variation of Bhut Jolokia. It is one of the hottest known varieties. Before the even more intense Trinidad Scorpion variations became known, this cultivar led the field, with its up to 1 million Scoville. Its fruits are slightly smaller than the Bhut Jolokia but they are very similar in taste. They have a sweet and fruity aroma and look great with their uneven surface.

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.

Die Sorte ist etwas keimfaul. Letzte Saison fünf angesetzt, zwei gekeimt und dann beide (!) aus heiterem Himmel eingegangen. Das kann allerdings auch an mir liegen. Die drei Früchte, die ich noch ernten konnte, waren aber super! Ich probier's weiterhin.
