I have my first Ghost Chile growing. A month’s worth of gemination yielded 1 out of 12 seeds. I have it in a small clay pot and I move it from one side of the yard to the other so it follows the sun. I’m watering it from below, filling a saucer and letting the soil soak it up. It’s almost 2 inches tall and has 2 rows of leaves now. A couple more weeks and I think it will be over the hump and grow until it bears fruit. Hopefully it will winter over inside the house like my Tabasco and Habanero peppers do, then next summer I will be loaded with peppers.
Do you use any special types of fertilizers on these plants? I am just depending on whatever nutrients are in the Miracle Grow potting soil I planted it in. I know peppers in general don’t need a lot of fertilizer, any special tips for this baby?
Peppers like bone meal...especially habaneros and scotch bonnets. You might want to check on Bhut Jolokia/’ghost pepper’...I have used Algoflash on my hot peppers in the past; with great results.
