Plant history & use:

An unusual purple-colored variant of the popular Thai chili pepper. The 'Purple Thai' chili is considered to have a perfect balance between flavor and heat, which contributes to its desirability in Asian cooking. The heat is described as medium and ranges between 50,000 - 100,000 Scoville Heat Units.

Culture:

All chili peppers originate from Central and South America. The genus has since been spread around the world by colonists, missionaries and traders, and new species have emerged through adaptation to the environment.

Chili peppers are generally easy to grow. They thrive in sunny, warm locations. They can be grown indoors in windows.

All chili peppers are perennial and can produce fruit all year round if given the right conditions. Heat, light, light nutrition and moisture contribute to continuous growth & production of the plant. Overwinter in a warm and bright place. If you want the plant to produce fruit also during the winter months, use a grow light to supplement the sunlight, possibly grow only under a grow light.

Keep the soil evenly moist and allow it to dry out slightly between waterings. Fertilize 2-3 times a week to ensure abundant fruit production.

The fruits turn from purple to orange in late maturity. The fruits can be eaten at all stages of maturity. 2-6 cm.

Sowing:

Pre-grow indoors at the beginning of the year.

Moisten the soil and press the seeds lightly against the surface. Cover with 1 cm of soil. Place in bright light and keep the seeds moist.
