Key Features:

• Scorching Heat: Measured at over 1,000,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), making it one of the hottest peppers on the planet.

• Unique Appearance: Striking creamy white pods that add visual appeal to garden beds and culinary dishes.

• Flavorful Heat: Intense heat with subtle fruity, citrus-like undertones, adding complexity to hot sauces, salsas, and spice blends.

• High-Yield Plants: Each plant produces a large number of peppers, providing plenty of fresh pods for cooking, drying, or powdering.

• Compact Size: Ideal for container gardening, greenhouses, or outdoor gardens in warmer climates.

Growing Instructions:

1. Start Indoors: Sow seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Use seed trays or small pots with well-draining seed-starting mix.

2. Germination Tips: Ghost pepper seeds require warmth to germinate (80-90°F). Use a heat mat to maintain consistent temperatures. Germination may take 2-3 weeks.

3. Light Requirements: Provide 12-16 hours of bright light daily using grow lights or a sunny windowsill. Strong light ensures healthy, sturdy seedlings.

4. Transplanting: Once outdoor temperatures are consistently above 70°F, transplant seedlings into larger pots or garden beds with well-draining, nutrient-rich soil.

5. Spacing: Space plants 18-24 inches apart to allow for airflow and optimal growth.

6. Watering: Water regularly but avoid overwatering. Peppers thrive in moist, well-drained soil.

7. Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer once the plants are established. For better flowering and fruit production, switch to a low-nitrogen, high-phosphorus fertilizer.

8. Harvesting: White Ghost Peppers mature in 100-120 days after transplanting. Harvest when the pods turn from light green to a creamy white hue. Use gloves when handling the peppers to avoid skin irritation from the capsaicin.

Care Tips:

• Temperature Matters: Ghost peppers love heat and will struggle in temperatures below 70°F. Use row covers or greenhouses to maintain warmth.

• Pest Management: Watch for aphids, spider mites, and whiteflies. Use neem oil or insecticidal soap as a natural pest control option.

• Pruning: Prune early growth to encourage bushier plants and higher yields.

• Overwintering: In colder climates, bring plants indoors or grow them in containers that can be moved inside during cooler months.
