Information
Small conical fruits that develop from dark violet to orange to dark red. The beautiful plant is very compact, rarely grows more than 20 cm tall, blooms with violet flowers and is excellent in pots and urns. But don't be fooled by the small sweet fruits. They are really strong. But not only hot but also with an appealing fruity aroma. Bolivian Rainbow can be overwintered as a potted plant in a bright window and then placed outdoors or in a greenhouse when the risk of frost in early summer is over.

Cultivation advice
Sowing
Sow indoors just under 1 cm deep 7-8 weeks before setting out, in January-March for cool green houses and in February-April for outdoors peppers! The best germination temperature is 22-30°C. Let the plants stand in a light airy place and after sprouting preferably at a temperature of 18°C. After getting a few real leaves the sprouts should be planted in pots. The temperature can now be lowered further. Temper the plants successively before setting out. Do not set the plants outdoors before the risk of nightly frost is over and the nightly temperature keeps above 7°C! Plant them a little deeper than they were in the pots and never allow them to dry out. Do not hurry too much with your sowing if you do not have a really good "nursery".Spacing
30-50 cm between the plants. 50-70 cm between rows.Harvest
The fruits can be harvested when they are dark purple or orange and dark red, depending on the desired flavor. The plant continues to produce new fruit as long as it is harvested.Chili peppers can also be harvested when unripe, but their flavor develops more as they mature. Sun and warmth are also important for producing a truly hot chili pepper.
