Hot Datil Pepper Seeds-capsicum Chinense- From St. Augustine, Florida (25 Seeds) The datil is an exceptionally hot pepper, a variety of the species Capsicum chinense. Datils are similar in strength to habaneros but have a sweeter, fruitier flavor. Sow seeds indoors " deep. Peppers germinate best in warm soil, so gentle bottom heat may be helpful until seedlings emerge. Wait to transplant outdoors until soil is warm. Pepper varieties come from tropical humid regions. The temperature, moisture, and air circulation all play a role in growing plants from seeds. Too little heat, too much moisture, and lack of air circulation will cause poor results. Do not use jiffy peat pots, plugs, or potting soil as the soil becomes too dry or too wet, which can lead to disease and fungus. We have experienced disease and low germination when using these types of products. Use Organic Seed Starting Material for best germination results.
