Some useful tips when growing these speciality chillis.

Ghost Pepper (Bhut Jolokia): To grow Ghost Peppers in pots, use a well-draining substrate mix. A suitable option is a blend of peat moss, perlite, and coconut coir. This mix provides good aeration and moisture retention. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water logging. Fertilize regularly with a balanced water-soluble fertilizer. Place the pot in a sunny location, preferably receiving at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day.

Trinidad Moruga Red/Scorpion/Yellow: Similar to the Ghost Pepper, use a well-draining substrate mix for growing Trinidad Moruga Scorpion peppers in pots. A mix of peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite works well. Ensure adequate drainage and provide regular fertilization using a balanced liquid fertilizer. Place the pot in a sunny location to provide ample sunlight.

F1 Golden Ghost: The F1 Golden Ghost can be grown in pots using the same substrate mix as the Ghost Pepper. Follow similar care instructions with proper drainage, regular fertilization, and adequate sunlight.

Yonic Sari F1 Yellow Scorpion: For Yonic Sari F1 Yellow Scorpion peppers, use a well-draining substrate mix similar to that of Trinidad Moruga Scorpion peppers. Ensure the pot has proper drainage and provide regular fertilization. Place the pot in a sunny location with at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day.

Carolina Reaper Red: To grow Carolina Reaper peppers in pots, use a well-draining substrate mix that consists of coco coir, perlite, and vermiculite. This mix provides good drainage while retaining moisture. Fertilize regularly using a balanced liquid fertilizer suitable for peppers. Place the pot in a sunny location, preferably receiving 8 to 10 hours of direct sunlight per day.

Dorset Naga Sunburn: For Dorset Naga peppers, use a substrate mix that includes coco coir, perlite, and vermiculite for optimal drainage and moisture retention. Fertilize regularly with a balanced liquid fertilizer formulated for chili peppers. Place the pot in a warm and sunny location, receiving at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day.

Habanero (Red/Brown/Orange/Yellow/White): Grow Habanero peppers in pots using a well-draining substrate mix of coco coir, perlite, and vermiculite. Ensure proper drainage and provide regular fertilization using a balanced liquid fertilizer suitable for peppers. Place the pot in a sunny location with at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day.

When growing chili peppers in pots, remember to water them consistently, allowing the substrate to dry slightly between watering sessions. Monitor the plants for any signs of nutrient deficiencies or pests and address them promptly. Additionally, provide support like stakes or trellises for taller varieties. Regularly check the pot size and consider repotting to a larger container if the roots outgrow the current one.
