Hot Pepper-Jyoti

Jyoti is a type of hot pepper, or Capsicum annuum. Light green 7-9 cm long, high pungency, thin skinned, can be used green or red.

Latin Name: Capsicum anuum

Planting Guidance: Seeds should be sown 8-10 weeks before planting out after last frost. Plant seeds 1/4 in. deep in well-drained soil in shallow flats. Maintain soil temperature at least 75-85 degrees F for good germination. Peppers won’t germinate in cold potting soil–heat makes a big difference in seeds germinating in 5 days, or seeds taking up to 20 days.
