Description

"Aji Dulce Rojo is a variety of the Capsicum chinense chili subspecies. The very low heat level is unusual for this species, but they still have the typical habanero aroma. Aji Dulce Rojo is the red variant of the yellow "Aji Dulce Amarillo". Due to their sweet taste, the fruits are often processed into jams.

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.
