FAQs
Do these peppers contain any heat at all?
No, the Habanada variety is specifically bred to be completely heatless while retaining the complex tropical flavor of a habanero.
Can I grow these outdoors?
While they are well-suited for windowsills and greenhouses, they can be grown outdoors in a sheltered, sunny spot once all risk of frost has passed.
What should I cover the seeds with after sowing?
Use a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite to lightly cover the seeds.
How long do I need to keep the seedlings in the propagator?
Keep them in the propagator until germination occurs, then reduce the temperature to 20C after they have been pricked out.
When can I expect to harvest?
You can typically expect a harvest from August through September.
Troubleshooting
Seeds failing to germinate within 30 days
Ensure the propagator is maintaining a consistent temperature between 25-30C and that the soil has not dried out.
Seedlings look tall and spindly
Provide more direct sunlight or move the plants to a brighter location to prevent them from stretching for light.
Yellowing leaves
Check for overwatering or poor drainage; ensure the pot has drainage holes and allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To grow your Habanada peppers, start by sowing the seeds on the surface of a high-quality, free-draining, and damp seed-sowing mix. Lightly cover the seeds with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite to retain moisture without burying them too deeply. For successful germination, it is essential to use a propagator set to 25-30C (77-86F). Once the seeds have germinated and the seedlings are pricked out, maintain a slightly cooler ambient temperature of approximately 20C (68F). Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged to prevent rot.
