This pepper plant produces small, slender peppers that ripen from green to a brilliant red, offering both a visual treat and a culinary challenge. The peppers are incredibly spicy, making them a favourite for those who love to add a serious kick to their dishes.
How to Plant: Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Plant your Thai Dragon Pepper plants at the same depth they were in their containers, spacing them about 18-24 inches apart to allow for their full growth and ease of harvest.
General Plant Care: Thai Dragon Peppers require consistent moisture, especially as the fruits develop. Mulch around the plants to help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Lighting Requirements: Requires full sun, with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily, to produce the most robust peppers.
Water Requirements: Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Reduce watering slightly as the peppers begin to ripen to intensify their heat.
