Ghost pepper fruit and seeds are extremely hot and should be handled with the utmost care. Use gloves when handling peppers or seeds to avoid contact with skin, and do so in a well-ventilated area. Also, it's good to use dedicated or disposable utensils because of the pepper's potent oils. After handling, wash your hands thoroughly, and do not touch your skin for a while as oils can linger even after cleaning. Always keep peppers away from pets and children. Place plants either in the ground or in large containers in a full sun location.  If placing in a pot, use a cage for plant support.  Pepper plants prefer a normal moist soil. Mulching between plants is encouraged to retain moisture and prohibit weed growth.  Ghost peppers can be difficult to grow as the humidity and heat they receive directly affect the heat of the pepper itself.  To grow ghost peppers outdoors, your growing season must last longer than 3 months. The temperature must stay above 70 degrees, as well. Fruits are 2.5 -3 inches long and harvest will be 85-90 days (from seeding).
