The small plants are placed on coconut substrate mats and then provided with a water-drip system. The substrate mats form a good nutrient medium for the pepper plants. And with many different varieties of chili peppers and bell peppers that we grow, the water-drip system ensures that each plant receives exactly the right amount of water and nutrients!
Then the plants need a lot of time to grow. Some varieties, such as the hungarian wax, shakira and green jalapeño, can be harvested for the first time in February/March. But other varieties like the super hot and Aji Amarillo not until May. This differs per variety and colour.

The drying process extends the life of peppers considerably, they spoil less, but they can also lose their flavour or shelf life after drying if not stored properly. Read our blog on how to keep them in good condition for a long time here.
Chili peppers come in many different colors, from orange to brown and you even have purple chili peppers, but the most common colors are still red and green. Read our blog about the differences between red and green chili peppers here.
We are currently selling some curry plants (only for pick up at our location) and in doing so, we get a lot of questions about how to grow and take care for the curry plant. Read our blog with important basic tips here.
