Naga Morich Spain Strain Chili Seeds

Information: The Naga Morich chilli pepper originally comes from north-east India or Bangladesh, the Naga Morich Spain strain is a Spanish breeding with crosses of the 7 Pot Brainstrain. It resembles the original Naga Morich Red, but does not have the same rough surface and has a slightly more triangular shape. The plants are rich-bearing and need a lot of warmth and a long time until the bright red fruits are ripe; so it can take 160 days from sowing to harvest. The taste of the pods is fruity, with slight hints of lemon and a brilliant heat.

Care: Germination temperature is between 24°C and 28°C (germination period: 8-21 days); it is therefore recommended to use a greenhouse and a heating mat. The plants need fresh, well-fertilised, permeable soil, and do not tolerate waterlogging. They should be planted in a sunny, protected place with at least 6 hours of sunlight - preferably more. Put the plants outside approx. 2 to 3 weeks after the last frost. As the plants have a particularly long maturation period, it is recommended to grow them in a pot, so that you can easily bring the plant inside when the temperature falls below 12°C during the day, allowing all the fruits to ripen. To keep the plant over the winter, cut it back by 20cm after harvesting and place in a light place where it is at least 15°C.
