Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Thai Hot is generally regarded as a tender plant, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date. Thai Hot needs a soil ph of 6.0 to 8.5 (weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil).

Growing Thai Hot from seed

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.2 inches (0.5 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 1.95 inches (5.0 cm) between Hot chili pepper plants. For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 18°C / 64°F.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Thai Hot about 42 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Thai Hot
