Growing Information
Kalugeritsa peppers thrive best in well-draining, nutrient-rich soil, basking in full sun with just a touch of afternoon shade during the hottest part of the summer. Once the seedlings reach about 3–4 inches in height, transplant them to garden beds or large containers, ensuring each plant has about 14-18 inches of space to flourish. These peppers are also perfectly suited for container growth, thriving in at least 3 gallons of soil. This gives you the flexibility to position them for optimal sunlight, ensuring a successful and bountiful harvest.
'Nir’s Take'
“I’ve been growing these on and off for a few years now, and I’ve found that they offer a versatile heat level, similar to a jalapeño. This makes them perfect for those who don’t necessarily love super spicy food, yet enjoy a hint of heat. They have a full-bodied flavor that complements many dishes. Plus, they’re pretty easy to grow and yield a good amount of peppers for the space they occupy. The best part is that it’s a rare variety - it’s not something you’ll find in your average store or nursery, which makes growing them all the more exciting and rewarding.”
