Instructions d'entretien

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.

Récolte

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.

Sol

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.

Engrais

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.

Rempotage

Repot Capsicum chinense when the plant outgrows its current container, typically every 1-2 years. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Carefully transfer the plant to the new pot, ensuring the root ball remains intact.

Propagation

Capsicum chinense can be propagated from seeds. Sow the seeds in a warm, moist environment and provide bright light. Germination typically occurs within 1-2 weeks. Transplant the seedlings to individual pots once they have developed a few true leaves.

Taille

Prune Capsicum chinense to encourage bushier growth and remove any dead or diseased branches. Pruning can be done throughout the growing season, but avoid heavy pruning during fruiting.

Toxicité

Capsicum chinense is not toxic to pets or humans. However, the capsaicin in the peppers can cause irritation if it comes into contact with the skin or eyes. Handle the peppers with care and wash hands thoroughly after handling.

Supplémentaire

Capsicum chinense plants benefit from regular monitoring for pests such as aphids and spider mites. Use organic pest control methods if necessary. Additionally, support the plant with stakes or cages if it becomes top-heavy with fruit.
