What should I know about growing habanero plants?

Answer by  Ginny (2251)

First of all, always wear gloves when handling them; to avoid burning eyes! Do not fertilize until plants begin blooming and then do not over-fertilize. Keep well watered. If planting from seed outdoors, do so seven days or so after the last frost. If indoors, it will be seven to ten weeks before you can transplant them outdoors.

Do not over water!!! Habanero Plants need to be fertilized at least once every year and need to be constantly harvested. Make sure they are way from the wind during the winter.

The best thing to know is that the whole plant is hot as well as the peppers if you break off a piece if the plant and get the oil on your hands and in your eye you will need medical attention trust me but they are easy to grow take care of them just like a regular pepper plant.

Make certain not to over water them , as that will negatively impact the taste of any resulting peppers the plant will produce.
