Chilli Tabasco (50 semenki)

50.000 - 80.000 SHU

Tabasco peppers are an American legend. Originally from Costa Rica they are the most well known type of Capsicum frutescens. These fiery little jewels are the primary ingredient in tabasco sauce, the famous hot sauce that has been produced in southern Louisiana since 1848 when the peppers were first imported from the State of Tabasco in Mexico.
This Greenleaf strain of tabasco was originally developed by Auburn University in Alabama USA. It has been bred to be resistant to tobacco etch virus (TEV).

The tabasco plant can grow 120 to 180cm tall (4 to 6ft) tall. Very prolific, they produce up to 100 pods per plant. The slender fruits grow upright and are 3 to 4cm (1 to 1½in) long. They mature from yellow to orange to red approximately 75 days after transplanting.

Storage of Seeds:
Store seeds away from children, sealed in their packaging in a cool, dry, dark place, or in a fridge. Never store them in a freezer as the sudden temperature drop is likely to kill them. Don`t leave the seeds in direct sunlight as the heat generated may kill them.

Sowing: Sow from mid February to mid June
The temperature, moisture, and air circulation all play a role in growing plants from seeds. Too little heat, too much moisture, and lack of air circulation will cause poor results. Do not use jiffy peat pots, plugs, or potting soil as the soil becomes too dry or too wet, which can lead to low germination, disease and fungus.
Fill small cells or trays with a good sterile seed compost and sow the seeds on the surface. “Just cover” with a fine sprinkling (3mm) of soil or vermiculite.
Keep the compost moist - don`t let the top of the compost dry out (a common cause of germination failure) If you wish, spray the surface with a dilute copper-based fungicide.
Cover the pot or tray with plastic film or place in a heated propagator, south facing window or a warm greenhouse.
The ideal temperature is around 18 to 20°C (65 to 72°F).
