Ghost Pepper 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.

Live Plant Purchase Disclaimer:
Please Read Before Purchasing our live plants!
Our live plants are grown indoors under controlled conditions. To ensure their long-term health, plants must be properly hardened off before being placed outdoors. Hardening off is the gradual process of introducing plants to outdoor conditions—sunlight, wind, and temperature changes—over the course of 21days.
-
Post-Delivery Care – Once plants are received, it is the buyer’s responsibility to provide proper care, including gradual acclimation to outdoor conditions.
-
Environmental & Growing Conditions – We are not responsible for plant loss or damage due to improper hardening off, extreme weather, neglect, pests, or other environmental factors after delivery.
-
Shipping Risks – While we take great care in packaging, plants may experience minor stress during transit (e.g., slight leaf drop, bent stems). This is normal and does not affect long-term growth. Please inspect your order immediately upon arrival and contact us within 24 hours with photos if there are any concerns.
