Cayenne pepper is great with foods, salsa, and sauces.
Cayenne chilli peppers can be quite hot between 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville heat units.
Cayenne peppers are a popular chilli pepper used to spice food in Mexico and the US. Otherwise known as “capsicum annum,” this thin red pepper can be grown outdoors in sandy, acidic soil. Although these peppers are perennials, meaning they grow continuously, their harvest can be reduced in the second year, so they are often replanted.
Cayenne peppers germinate best at a constant heat of 24 to 29 degrees Celsius. Fill your seedling trays up to 1.3cm from the top with compost or potting soil. Seeds germinate better after soaking in purified water for at least 24 hours. Place 3 or 4 cayenne pepper seeds in each cell. Try to space them evenly.
Cover with 0.6cm of the same mixture. Moisten the soil. Cover the tray with plastic wrap. Place it on a sunny windowsill or on the top of the refrigerator to germinate.
Dampen the soil when needed over the next 1 to 6 weeks. Thin your seedlings over the next few weeks. First, snip off the weakest seedling when they get its first leaves. Cut off all but 1 seedling when they form 2 sets of leaves. This seedling should be ready to plant, once there is no risk of frost.
Every seed variety undergoes organic cultivation and self-testing on our South African, Botswanan, Zambian, and Tanzanian farms. Our commitment lies in offering a diverse selection of organically grown, open-pollinated, Non-GMO seeds, proudly produced and acclimated locally.
Before planting, please verify the conditions in your area suitable for the specific seed type. Growth rates and germination times hinge on various factors like soil conditions, rainfall/watering patterns, climate, and more. The outcome of growth and harvest may be influenced by these conditions.
