Description

'Roxi' is a decorative dwarf chilli, perfect for the windowsill or balcony. The small, compact plants are only 20-30 cm tall and bear small, drop-shaped, upright chillies. The small pods ripen from green to purple, yellow and orange to red and always have a beautiful play of colors due to different degrees of ripeness at the same time. The chillies have a medium heat.

Non hybrid

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

Chili should be grown in nutrient-rich soil in a sunny location. For a rich harvest, the first flower (terminal bud/'king flower') should be broken off. This promotes flower and fruit formation on the side shoots. However, this is not as important for chili peppers as it is for peppers. Pull the plants with 3-4 shoots and remove the remaining shoots. In Central Europe, cultivation is usually annual, but the highest yield is only achieved 2-3 years after planting. To achieve this, the plant must be overwintered indoors. The fruits are harvested from July to September, depending on the variety and weather conditions.
