Historia y cultura

UK grower Gerald Fowler at the Chilli Pepper Company bred the Naga Viper through repeated backcrossing of Naga Morich, Ghost Pepper, and Trinidad Scorpion. Guinness recognized it as the world’s hottest in 2011, though it has since been surpassed. The pepper’s fame sparked global interest in British-grown superhots and inspired countless challenge products.

Notas sobre botánica y cultivo

Start seeds indoors 12 weeks before planting, using heat mats at 30°C. Transplant into full sun and rich soil once nights stay above 18°C. Plants reach about 1 meter tall and need staking. Provide high humidity, steady feeding, and good airflow. Ripening takes 120 to 140 days. Greenhouses or indoor grow setups are recommended in cooler regions.
