Aji­ Santa Cruz, Chili Pepper Seeds, Very Hot (Capsicum baccatum) bright color and pungent fruitiness of this three-inch-long Bolivian pepper
The bright color and pungent fruitiness of this three-inch-long Bolivian pepper make it an ideal replacement for the orange-hued (and sometimes harder to find) ají escabeche, typically used in northern Peruvian cooking. It grows on a tall plant that needs plenty of space and sunlight. (C. baccatum.)

Keep the soil moist but not wet.

When grown during the winter months usually required some form of plant lighting. Help with pollination by shaking the plant or with a small brush. More Yearling - trimmed in the fall - overwinter indoors in bright mode.
