• Temperature & Germination: Keep the soil warm (around 80-90°F) and moist for successful germination. Expect seedlings to emerge in 14-21 days.
• Transplanting Outdoors: Transplant them outside once the seedlings are strong and all frost danger has passed. Ensure you choose a location that provides at least 6-8 hours of full sun daily.
Growing Conditions:
• Sunlight: Ghost peppers require full sun for optimal growth.

Once you've harvested your Ghost Peppers, there are various ways to enjoy and preserve them:
- Fresh use: Add your freshly harvested peppers to salsas, sauces, or any dish that needs a fiery kick. Due to their intense heat, remember to use them sparingly.
- Drying: String up your peppers and hang them in a warm, dry, well-ventilated area to air-dry. Alternatively, you can use a dehydrator or an oven set to its lowest temperature, with the door slightly ajar. Once thoroughly dried, grind them into a powder or store them whole in airtight containers.
- Freezing: Simply rinse, dry, and place the whole peppers in a ziplock bag or airtight container before freezing them. This method preserves their flavor and heat for later use.
- Pickling: For a tangy twist, pickle your Ghost Peppers in a vinegar brine with your choice of herbs and spices. Enjoy them as a spicy condiment or as an ingredient in various dishes.
