The former king of the hot peppers, Carolina Reapers, have long since gained popularity after it first came into the pepper limelight and held the hottest pepper in the world title way back in 2013. Despite being dethroned only a year after, it still is considered one meanest boy in the market and has become a worldwide favorite for hot pepper lovers, farmers, and collectors even to this day. It is so hot that normal gloves will not protect you from its spicy bite if not handled carefully. 80% Germination rate Red Carolina Reaper Pepper Seeds SHU: 1,600,000 – 2,200,000 20 Seeds per pack Seeds by Pepper Juan Growing Guide of Carolina Reapers How to grow peppers from seeds STEP 1: Fill a large planting tray or a multi-cell seed tray to the brim with a light compost or potting soil (much better if using klassmann ts3). Break up any large clumps. Push the compost down 1-2 millimeters and water it. STEP 2: Drop individual chili seeds on top of the compost, about 2 inches (5cm) apart. Cover them lightly with more compost. Gently firm the compost and mist it lightly with a spray bottle. STEP 3: Place plastic wrap over the planting tray to lock in heat and moisture. Place the tray in a warm spot. STEP 4: Keep an eye on the planting tray to monitor growth and ensure compost quality. The compost should be moist but not wet, and should not be watered unless it feels especially dry. Sprouting should begin after approximately 2-6 weeks. Superhot peppers germinate much longer compared to regular peppers.
