Ghost Pepper Live Plants
The Ghost Pepper, often referred to as the Bhut Jolokia, is an iconic chili pepper renowned for its scorching heat, earning its place among the world’s hottest peppers. Originating in India, particularly in Assam, Nagaland, and Manipur, the Ghost Pepper remained a local culinary secret until it claimed the Guinness World Record for spiciness in 2007. Its global recognition propelled it into international markets, captivating spice enthusiasts worldwide.
Cultivating Ghost Peppers demands dedication, thriving in USDA hardiness zones 6 to 13 and requiring 120 to 160 days to reach maturity. Its intense heat and unique flavor profile, with fruity and smoky notes, make it a sought-after ingredient in various dishes. From salsas to hot sauces, the Ghost Pepper adds a fiery kick, but handling it demands caution due to its potent heat.

Flavor & Scoville Heat Unit:
Ghost chili peppers are famed for their extreme spiciness, scoring 1,000,000+ on the Scoville scale. These potent chili peppers are loaded with capsicum and an intense heat that’s balanced by a subtle citrusy, slightly smoky flavor. This unique profile makes ghost peppers an ideal choice for crafting scorching hot sauces and infusing your culinary creations with a bold and fiery seasoning that will elevate your dishes to a whole new level of heat and flavor.
Plant Care:
All plants will adapt to gradual shifts in their environment, allowing them to thrive under changing conditions. However, sudden changes can prove detrimental, risking the health and vitality of your plants. One such risk in pepper plants is sun-scalding, which can cause extensive damage to the leaves. This damage not only affects the plant’s aesthetic appeal but also disrupts its ability to photosynthesize effectively, hindering growth and overall health. To protect your pepper plants, ensure they’re gradually acclimated to your outside garden.
