| Hi everyone, my name is Lori. I have been lurking for a year and a half on this forum and finally decided to buy some pepper plants this year because you all seemed to enjoy growing them so much! I bought jalepeno, habenero, serrano and one called a Super Chili. Is there an actual name for this chili or is that it? I have never heard of it before and I saw a couple posts on it but nothing that stated the actual name for it. There are lots of chilies on it and they stick up, are thin, and are turning red. Does anyone know the hotness of them too. I'm somewhat hesitant to take a small bite, believe it or not. LOL
This morning I sauteed some onion with a several cut up fresh serrano and jalepeno peppers, then added eggs to it for my breakfast. It was great with some cajun seasoning added.
Nice to meet you all.

| I actually am new to this forum, as well as Chile growing in general. I decided to try and grow peppers using containers on my patio (I live in a condo in suburban WA). I went with available plants from Home Depot, so I chose a Pepperoncini, a Jalapeno, and a Super Chile (mine was spelled with an 'e' but I have seen both spellings. Here is the info I found from ChilePlants.com: "hot; 2 to 2.5 inches long by 0.375 to 0.5 inches wide; Pequin/Piquin Type; matures from pale green to orange to red; upright, pointed fruits; Uses: Fresh Salsas, Prolific, Compact; Short Season; C.annuum." I believe they are 40,000 ~ 50,000 on the Scoville scale, so they are fairly fiery! I have approximately 50+ immature fruits so far,so I hope yours turns out as prolific! |

Yep.. as baymeo said.. it is a chilis hybrid.. I remeber running across this one when I was first getting interested in chile plants 8 years ago.
Good luck with your chiles.. remeber to give them some epson salts every once in a while (usually 1 teaspoon per foot of plant you have every two weeks) |
