If you like growing the hottest peppers to add to salsas or make into hot sauces, these peppers are for you! Make sure to keep them warm and moist for the best seed germination – super hots can take their sweet ol' time sprouting so don't give up on them and keep them warm. Once sprouted, they should grow nicely at room temperature indoors until it's time to bring them outside. Don't forget to harden off your seedlings and let them acclimate to the sun's strong rays and the wind.


Grow Hot Peppers in Pots

You can grow hot peppers in pots with great success as pots let you move the peppers to protected areas (or indoors) if frosty stormy weather is expected. This allows you to maximize your growing season so you can get the most hot peppers out of your plants. Super hot peppers need long growing seasons to fully ripen fruit, so start them early, and grow them in moveable pots so you can move them to warm locations if needed during late or early freezing weather or terrible storms.
