Capsicum Chacoense is a wild chili pepper species from South America. The plant is found in Bolivia, Paraguay, and Argentina. Chacoense grows very low and bears many small fruits that ripen from yellow to red and only reach about 1 cm in length. As the fruit of many other wild chilies, they are very hot and popular among birds in their native environment. For a wild chili, capsicum chacoense is relatively easy to grow from seed, as it does not need any special treatment for germination.

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.
Chilis are very nutrient-loving and benefit from strong nitrogen fertilization.
