About this deal

Refrigeration– Scotch Bonnet peppers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Place them in a paper bag or perforated plastic bag to allow for air circulation and prevent moisture buildup. Once trimmed I remove any of the excess foliage or side shoots from the remainder of the stem before getting ready to re-pot the plant. I use my standard potting medium for re-potting.

If your plants show signs of sun stress, like sun scald or drooping leaves, move the plants out of the sun to recover. Try again the next day. A dab’ll do you: to make that unique difference in your meals, only a small amount is needed. A small one or a low number of grains in its powdery form will still add a great deal of spiciness to your meal.When you see 2-3 sets of true leaves, your seedlings can be transplanted into a larger nursery pot. Use fertile, slightly acidic to neutral potting soil (pH 6.0-7.0) for your nursery pots. Size and uniformity: Here, I look for seeds of similar size and shape. From experience, larger seeds perform better than tiny seeds.

Add one handful of colloidal phosphate to the first planting hole, and then one handful of compost. While the classic Scotch Bonnet pepper is typically orange or red in color, there are actually several varieties to choose from, each with its own unique characteristics. Here are a few popular varieties you may come across when selecting seeds or seedlings for your garden: You can buy a PH tester kit for soil at your local garden center. For soil that tests lower than 6, you can try adding some limestone to bring it up. For soil that tests higher than 6.8, you can try adding sulfur to bring it down.

With the root ball shaken out and trimmed the next job is to cut the stem about 15cm from the soil line. This seems harsh but it will prevent the plant from trying (in vein) to support the foliage throughout the winter and encourage dormancy.
