Red fruits on a bushy plant

Habanada Red belongs to the Capsicum chinense species and develops into a bushy plant reaching up to approximately 90 cm in height. Its small, pepper-shaped fruits measure around 5 × 4 cm and change from green to red as they mature. The approximate ripening period is 100 days. You can find this variety alongside other options in Growmart's range of chilli seeds and chilli growing supplies.

Warm conditions for germination

Sowing is recommended from February to April, with an ideal germination temperature of 22–28 °C. Maintaining steady warmth is particularly useful during an early start to the growing season. Suitable equipment for creating controlled conditions is available among the plant propagation supplies. Once the seedlings are established, an airy, nutrient-rich growing medium with good drainage helps prevent standing water around the roots.

Plenty of sun for the growing season

Habanada Red prefers warm, sunny conditions and around 6–8 hours of direct sunlight per day. Growing the plants in pots can be useful towards the end of the season. If temperatures fall below approximately 12 °C in early autumn, container-grown plants can be moved into a protected indoor position more easily, giving remaining fruits additional time to ripen.
