The unique ornamental pepper Black Pearl rightly bears the name black pearl. Its berry-like fruits ripen from green to black to red. Of course, the fruits, which look like small cherries, are edible. A pleasant, medium sharpness then spreads in your mouth and brings a smile to your lips. Because Black Pearl Chilis taste damn good.
In the direct sun the leaves turn to a dark violet. Depending on the light conditions they appear pitch black. This makes the small chili plants on balcony, windowsill and any other place an enrichment of their surroundings. A lot of light, warmth and slightly moist soil are important at the location.

How To Grow Your Chilli Plants

Chillies are always grown straight from seed, which should be sown in trays or small pots in spring once the last frost is over. Sow your chilli seeds from August to November in most parts of SA in areas where there could be late frost, its safer to wait for September. Use a light, well-drained seedling mixture, sow your seeds about 5 mm deep, water well and place on a warm windowsill or in a greenhouse to germinate. These hot numbers originate from warm countries, so require a minimum temperature of 1825°C to germinate. They generally pop their heads up after seven to 14 days, but some of the extreme varieties such as the ghost chillies can take up to 30 days to germinate. The hotter the chilli, the longer the seed takes to sprout.

Transplant your seedlings when they have two sets of true leaves, meaning the leaves that appear after the first set. Chillies can be planted out into the open ground in a sunny area, into containers, veggie planters or even hanging baskets. Make sure that your soil is loose, well- draining and rich in organic matter. An addition of a teaspoon of 2:3:2 fertiliser to each planting hole will ensure that your young plants get the best start and will flower prolifically. Chillies enjoy humidity, so spray your plants with a fine water spray during dry weather  this will also help stop flower drop.

TOP TIP: Sprinkle a teaspoon of Epsom salts (magnesium sulphate) around the plants roots at this stage also very beneficial for flower production. Warning: Chillies are not happy in a windy position and tend to drop their flowers if they are not sheltered from high winds.
