The Ghost Pepper, also known as Bhut Jolokia, is one of the hottest chili peppers in the world. Its heat level ranges from 800,000 to 1,041,427 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), making it about 400 times hotter than Tabasco sauce!
The Ghost Pepper plant grows to about 60-120 cm (2-4 feet) tall and has a bushy, spreading habit. The leaves are a dark green color and are about 8-10 cm (3-4 inches) long. The flowers are white with a yellow or greenish tinge and are about 2.5 cm (1 inch) long. The peppers themselves are typically 5-10 cm (2-4 inches) long and 2.5-3 cm (1 inch) wide, with a distinctive, wrinkled surface.
Despite their extreme heat level, Ghost Peppers have a unique and complex flavor that includes fruity, smoky, and even floral notes. This flavor profile has made them a popular ingredient in many spicy dishes, including curries, hot sauces, and marinades.
At QPS Seedlings, we offer a range of Ghost Pepper products, including live plants, fresh peppers, and dried flakes. Our Ghost Pepper plants are grown using the highest quality seeds and carefully nurtured to ensure healthy growth and maximum yield.

Here are some tips on how to care for your Ghost Chili plant:
-
Choose the right location: Ghost Chili plants need plenty of sunshine and warmth to grow properly. Choose a spot in your garden or balcony that gets at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day. The temperature should be warm, ideally between 25-35°C (77-95°F).
-
Use the right soil: Ghost Chili plants need well-draining soil that's rich in organic matter. A good potting mix with added perlite or vermiculite works well. If planting in the ground, add some compost or aged manure to enrich the soil.
-
Water properly: Ghost Chili plants need regular watering, but be careful not to overwater them as this can lead to root rot. Water the plant deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Don't let the soil dry out completely.
-
Fertilize regularly: Ghost Chili plants are heavy feeders and need regular fertilization. Use a balanced fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season (spring to autumn). You can also add some compost or aged manure to the soil.
-
Prune as needed: Ghost Chili plants can get bushy, so it's a good idea to prune them occasionally to keep them in shape. You can also prune off any dead or diseased branches.
-
Watch out for pests and diseases: Ghost Chili plants are susceptible to pests like aphids, mites, and whiteflies, as well as diseases like powdery mildew and bacterial spot. Check your plant regularly and treat any issues promptly.
By following these tips, you can enjoy a healthy and productive Ghost Chili plant in Australia. Just be sure to handle the peppers with care, as they are extremely hot and can cause skin and eye irritation. Enjoy the heat!
