How to Sow and Care for Hot Carolina Reaper Pepper

Growing Carolina Reaper from seed requires some care and attention. Using sterile media and covering the seeds with soil one centimetre deep is essential. Provide a seedling heat mat with 25 degrees Celsius bottom heat and bright lighting for optimal growth.

Keep the seeds consistently moist, and you should see germination between one to three weeks, though it may take longer. For stronger stems and to prevent damping off, gently brush or use a fan on the seedlings daily once they sprout.

Once your Carolina Reaper seedlings have a few sets of leaves and are a few inches tall, transplant them into pots and let them grow until they have six true leaves. As soon as the temperatures are warm enough, start taking them outdoors during the day and gradually acclimate them to being outside for extended periods.

You can quickly enjoy your Carolina Reaper peppers' fiery heat and delicious flavour with proper care.
