This pepper hails from Peru and is reminiscent of habanero peppers.

Hot Paper Lantern peppers share that same habanero-type heat, but they tend to be slightly sweeter before the heat really kicks in, mixed with some light smokiness. This pepper also has a very thin skin which makes it great for drying. Use for seasoning, salsas, hot sauce and even roasting. Are you ready to handle the blistering heat from these peppers?

Growing Notes:

There are various ways to germinate seeds. You can use the moist paper towel method, germinate in trays indoors or sow directly in pots. However, it is a good idea to start seeds indoors in small pots or germination trays. Keep the medium moist during germination and if you can maintain a warm consistent temperature it will be beneficial. You can soak seeds for about 12-24 hours to soften the seeds. It is common to soak seeds in a weak Hydrogen peroxide or weak chamomile tea solution. Do not sow seeds too deep. Be patient as some hotter varieties can take weeks to germinate. After seeds sprout and a few leaves have formed, you can start to transplant and move outdoors when temperatures become warmer. Peppers love rich soil, so adding compost to the garden or potting mix is highly recommended.

Ba cautious when handling these hot peppers. Where gloves when handling frequently. Do not touch your eyes or other vulnerable parts of the body after working with these peppers.
