The hottest peppers available to ordinary people are Chaotian peppers, millet peppers, etc.

Chili peppers are annual or limited perennial plants; 40-80 cm tall.

The stems are nearly hairless or slightly pubescent, and the branches are slightly zigzag-shaped.

The leaves are alternate, the top nodes of the branches are not elongated and become twin or clustered, oblong-ovate, ovate or ovate-lanceolate, 4-13 cm long, 1.5-4 cm wide, entire margin, short acuminate at the top

Or acute, base narrowly wedge-shaped; petiole 4-7 cm long.

The flowers are solitary, drooping; the calyx is cup-shaped, with inconspicuous 5 teeth; the corolla is white, the lobes are oval; the anthers are gray-purple.

The fruit stem is thick and drooping; the fruit is long and finger-shaped, with a tapered and often curved top. It is green when immature and turns red, orange or purple when mature, and has a spicy taste.

There are two kinds of pepper flowers, one is white and the other is purple. Both flowers have three types of petals: four to six petals.

And the peppers produced by the two types of flowers are also different: the peppers produced by the purple flowers are purple, while the peppers produced by the white flowers are ordinary red peppers.

Seeds are flat and kidney-shaped, 3-5 mm long, light yellow.

The flowering and fruiting period is from May to November.

The initial stage of pepper growth is the germination stage. It is usually unearthed around 5-8 days after germination and sowing. The first true leaf appears around 15 days. When the flower buds are revealed, it is the seedling stage.

When the first flower spike reaches the doorbell, it is the flowering stage.

The fruiting period begins after fruit setting and when the seedlings are pulled out.

The suitable temperature for peppers is between 15-34 degrees.

The suitable temperature for seed germination is 25-30 degrees. Germination takes 5-7 days. The seeds will not germinate when it is below 15 degrees or above 35 degrees. The seedling stage requires a higher temperature, 25-30 degrees during the day and 15-18 degrees at night.

Seedlings are not tolerant of low temperatures and should be protected from cold.

If the pepper is kept at 35 degrees, it will cause flower and fruit drop.

Peppers have strict requirements on water conditions and are neither drought nor waterlogging tolerant.

Prefers drier air conditions.
