The Ghost Chili, commonly known as the Bhut Jolokia, can be difficult to germinate yet the

Magic Plant Company has simplified and made convenient the growing of Ghost Chili peppers

all year around.

Here are the basics of growing your Magic Plant Ghost Chili:

1. Follow the basic directions on opening the can of ghost chili and watering directions.

2. Do not over water, especially during germination! This could cause the seedlings to die or

develop fungal disease.

3. Allow the surface of the soil to dry out slightly before re-watering. If you find that

overwatering has occurred, remove the plastic cap from the bottom of the can to release any

excessive water that may have accumulated. Let the can drain out until no water drips from the

bottom.

4. Seeds do not need light to germinate just the optimal temperature and conditions.

5. Ghost Chili seeds need the soil to be between 75 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit for them to

germinate. The best location would be in the warmest part of your home. I chose the kitchen

counter that received ample sunlight. If you choose a windowsill during winter months, do not

leave it there if the sun is unable to warm it. I used a heating pad as alternate heat to keep my

seeds at optimal temperature. Do not forget to check the soil temperature if you use a heating

pad. When I was unable to supervise my Ghost Chili, I kept the plastic cap that came with it

over it while I was gone a short time. If you use a heating pad, check the soil occasionally, as it

will dry quicker than just at room temperature. Never allow the soil temperature to reach

below 60 degrees F. This will delay germination.

6. The time until you see emerging seedlings can be between 8-10 days.

7. Seedlings need sunlight. If you decide to keep your Magic Plant Ghost Chili on the windowsill, choose one that is on the southern side of your home or one that receives the most sunlight throughout the day. Also, rotate the can to reduce leggy growth (that is when a plant is leaning toward the light source if left in one position, then roots will form on the side of the stem). I left mine on the kitchen counter, which is right next to a sliding glass door. It was the perfect spot for warmth and sunlight.

degrees Fahrenheit range. Only water your seedlings when the top soil is dry. If you feel like your seedlings look somewhat droopy, I have a good idea for you. In a small spray bottle, mix 1 teaspoon of Epsom salt and 8 oz. of warm distilled water. Shake it briskly to dissolve some of the Epsom salt. Spray approximately two pumps of the sprayer directly onto the soil. Ghost Chili and pepper plants in general need magnesium for proper development. When your seedlings reach approximately 3.
