Description: Test Naga Jolokia (Ghost Pepper) Check out our other listings! Ghost peppers, also known as Bhut Jolokia or Naga Jolokia, originated in the Assam region of India. The teardrop shaped fruits start bright green and ripen to a deep orange, and are between 2 to 3 inches in length and about 1/2 inch in width. The flesh is shiny and slightly wrinkled, while the seeds within are a flat white. At more than 1 million Scoville units, the Ghost pepper is one of the spiciest chili peppers in the world. The heat contained within the pepper’s flesh and seeds does not diminish with cooking, and they are commonly used to add an intense spiciness to sauces, marinades, salsas, and more! Ghost Pepper Germination Guide We recommend germinating your Ghost pepper seeds with the paper towel method, which will reduce the 14-35 day germination time needed for direct sowing. Below you'll find some general guidelines on how to do it, but first an important disclaimer: It is strongly recommended to wear disposable gloves when handling the fruits and seeds of the Ghost pepper. Take extra care to avoid contact with your eyes and other sensitive areas, and please be sure to wash your hands thoroughly after disposing of the gloves! Got it? Great! Now here's how to use the paper towel method for germinating your Ghost pepper seeds: Moisten a paper towel. You can do this with a spray bottle or by dampening the towel under a faucet. Be sure the paper towel is evenly most but not dripping wet. Place seeds onto the paper towel. Spread the seeds out evenly and make certain none are stuck together. You can fold the paper towel over the seeds or leave them exposed. Place the paper towel with seeds into a Ziplock bag and seal. Sealing the bag helps to keep moisture in. Store bag in a warm, dark room. Cooler temperatures slow down germination, so consider placing the bag of seeds on a heating mat. This will help to achieve an ideal germination temperature between 80-90°F. Check your seeds every few days for germination. When you see a sprout emerging from a seed, carefully remove the seed from the paper towel with a pair of tweezers, or by cutting the paper towel around the seed and root. Transfer the germinated seed into a small pot filled with seed starting mix, potting mix, or soil. Plant the sprout no deeper than ½ inch, and be sure to lightly mist the soil so it settles around the seed. Store the pot in a warm room, preferably on a heating pad. It may take several days for the sprout to emerge from the soil. When it does, place the seedling on a sunny windowsill or beneath a grow light. Continue watering the seedlings regularly. Once they are around 4 to 6 inches tall you may transplant the seedlings to your garden or into a container that is about 8 inches deep and 11-12 inches wide.
