Organic 'Chile de Arbol' Hot Pepper Seeds (Capsicum annuum). It is a hot pepper with slender, elongated fruit that ripens from green to bright red and is generally rated at 15,000 to 30,000 Scoville units. It reaches 45 to 75 cm (18 to 30 in), with a spread of 35 to 50 cm (14 to 20 in). Native to Mexico, it can be grown in Quebec when its warm-season needs and sensitivity to cold are taken into account. It performs best in full sun and rich, warm, moist, well-drained soil. For practical seed starting, growing from seed succeeds best when the verified product depth, moisture and temperature guidance is followed.
Sow indoors 8 to 10 weeks before the last frost. Provide warmth and light, transplant carefully, harden seedlings off, and wait until the soil and nights have warmed before planting. Sow 6 mm (1/4 in) deep and maintain 24 to 30 °C (75 to 86 °F); germination usually takes 7 to 21 days. Space plants 40 to 50 cm (16 to 20 in) apart. Water at the base when the soil surface begins to dry. Use the product details as a clear guide on how to start seeds while keeping the growing medium evenly moist, never saturated. For indoor seed starting, count back from local conditions and frost dates to decide when to start indoor seeds. Give every pepper seedling bright light after emergence and harden plants off gradually before outdoor planting.
Harvest from late summer until the first frost, at the desired colour stage. Edible parts include fruit. This harvest is well suited to hot sauces, salsas, drying, flakes and powder. It can be grown in a deep, well-drained container of at least 15 to 20 L (4 to 5 US gal); check moisture more often than for in-ground plants. Handle the peppers carefully, avoid contact with the eyes and wear gloves if you are sensitive to capsaicin.
