Bhut Jolokia (Capsicum chinense "Bhut Jolokia") is a cultivar of pepper grown for its exceptionally hot, spicy fruit. It is a tender perennial, and will persist year-round within U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 10 and above. The seeds germinate best indoors where it is easier to create and control the environmental conditions required for successful germination. "Bhut Jolokia" pepper seeds germinate slowly and require approximately 160 days to set fruit, so it is best to start them at least two months before the last spring frost. germination rate 90%germination date 1/16/22 Combine 5 parts seed-starting compost, 1 part fine sand and 1 part perlite in a bucket. Drizzle water onto the mixture while stirring. Keep adding water in small increments until the mixture feels moderately moist throughout. 2 Pack the moistened compost mixture into 3-inch starter pots. Fill the pots to within 1/4 inch of the top. Lightly firm the mixture to collapse any air pockets. Poke a 1/2-inch-deep hole in the center of the mixture. 3 Place one "Bhut Jolokia" pepper seed in the planting hole. Fill in the hole with seed-starting compost. Cover the surface of the compost mixture with a 1/16-inch-thick layer of fine sand. 4 Arrange the starter pots on a warming mat near a large window with six to eight hours of sun exposure each day. Cover the pots with a plastic propagation dome or a sheet of clear plastic wrap. 5 Set the temperature on the warming mat to between 80 and 90 F. Keep the warming mat at that temperature all day and night during the germination process. 6 Check the moisture level in the compost mixture daily. Add water whenever the top 1/4 inch feels nearly dry. Water with a misting bottle or by drizzling water onto the surface. Avoid overwatering since the seeds will fail. 7 Watch for germination one month after sowing, but don't be surprised if it takes up to two months for some of the "Bhut Jolokia" seeds to sprout. 8 Lower the temperature to 75 F after germination. Remove the propagation dome two weeks after germination. Decrease water slightly so the top 1/2 inch dries out slightly between waterings. 9 Transplant the "Bhut Jolokia" pepper seedlings into a sunny bed with moist, fast-draining soil after all frost danger has passed and the soil has warmed to at least 68 F. Space the plants 2 feet apart.
