Grown Organically !
Chili pequin is an attractive Tabasco type pepper with a bright red color and a slender, pointed, slightly twisted shape. The peppers are grown for their ornamental value or to flavor spicy dishes. Chili pequin is suitable for planting in all Sunset Climate Zones. It is usually grown as an annual, but is sometimes grown as a perennial with winter protection. However, the peppers tend to become smaller with each successive year.
DETAILS
PEQUIN PEPPER
Capsicum annuum
Tiny chile, usually only 1″ long, but extremely hot, and one of the hottest chiles available. The pequin (meaning little) is a common chile used for ultra-spicy dishes. Plants are semi-annuals and in warmer areas can survive for several years. Closely related to the wild Tepin chile
HoStart seeds in small containers from 8-10 weeks prior to the last frost date. Plant seeds approximately 1/4-1/2″ deep in moist, well drained potting soil. Most standard soil mixes are suitable for pepper seeds. Soil temperature must be kept at 75-90F for proper germination. Cool soil, particularly at night can inhibit or significantly delay germination. To keep soil temperature warm, start seeds indoors, in a greenhouse and/or use a seed starting heat mat. Keep soil moderately moist, though not overly, dripping wet. Water soil when the soil surface just begins to dry. Allow proper air circulation for containers.
Optionally, seeds can be dipped in a dilute hydrogen peroxide mix (1 tsp
hydrogen peroxide per cup water) for one minute to disinfect seeds prior to planting. If your soil or seed setup is susceptible to mold growth this can be useful to kill mold spores.
Once seedlings have sprouted, keep in small containers until a few sets of leaves have developed. Transplant to larger containers or outdoors. If transplanting outdoors, make sure to harden off seedlings by exposing them to only filtered sunlight for up to 1-2 weeks. Thin plants to 3-4 ft and rows to 6-10 ft.w to Grow Chili Pequin
1
Water chili pequin regularly, providing 1 to 2 inches every week. Water at the base of the plant so the water goes directly to the roots and the foliage remains dry. Don’t allow the soil to become soggy or bone dry. Irregular watering often results in rot or blossom drop.
2
Apply 1 to 2 inches of mulch such as compost, straw or shredded bark after the soil warms to a temperature of 70 degrees Fahreneheit. Mulch keeps the soil evenly moist and keeps weeds in check, but mulching too early creates fungus and other moisture-related problems. To determine soil moisture, use an inexpensive thermometer available at garden centers.
3
Fertilize pepper plants lightly four and eight weeks after peppers are transplanted into the garden. Apply about 1/4 tablespoon of granular fertilizer for every pepper plant, as too much fertilizer creates lush foliage with no peppers. Use a high nitrogen fertilizer with a ratio such as 21-0-0 or 33-0-0.
4
Keep the area around the pepper plants neat to avoid wilt, fungus, rot and other problems caused by lack of air circulation. Discard dead plants at the end of the growing season.
