Capsicum chinense requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It thrives in warm temperatures and high humidity. Regular watering is essential to keep the soil evenly moist. The plant can be grown both indoors and outdoors, provided it receives adequate light and warmth.Ernte
Capsicum chinense, commonly known as habanero or Scotch bonnet, should be harvested when the fruits are fully mature and have reached their final color, which can range from orange to red depending on the variety. This typically occurs about 120 days after planting. To harvest, use a pair of sharp scissors or pruning shears to cut the fruit from the plant, leaving a small portion of the stem attached to the fruit. Handle the fruits carefully to avoid bruising. It is also advisable to wear gloves during harvest to protect your skin from the capsaicin in the peppers, which can cause irritation.Boden
Capsicum chinense prefers well-draining loamy soil that retains moisture but does not become waterlogged. A soil mix rich in organic matter is ideal. Ensure the soil pH is slightly acidic to neutral for best results.Dünger
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-10. Fertilize the plant every 2-3 weeks during the growing season to support healthy growth and fruit production.Umtopfen
