{"product_id":"chilli-hot-thai","title":"Chilli Pepper - THAI HOT - Capsicum annuum","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Thai Hot\", a cultivar of Capsicum sp., is revered for its compact, clustered fiery peppers, bringing both spice and ornamental beauty to gardens. The chillies of this variety are small, tapering to a point and radiate a deep red hue when mature, introducing an authentic Asian zest to dishes. Their heat is undeniable, charting upwards of 50,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), demanding care during consumption and handling to avoid discomfort.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhether nestled in the ground, placed in pots or grown in vege\/herb gardens, \"Thai Hot\" showcases adaptability. Those planting in sandy terrains should enhance the soil using a premium conditioner to ensure it flourishes. Reveling under full sun, this chilli requires consistent watering, with more attention during the height of Bunuru (summer). As Djilba (early spring) draws near, a dose of balanced fertiliser preempts a bountiful yield. Generally, these fiery delights mature within 70 to 85 days post-planting. Their heat packs a punch that necessitates caution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable width=\"100%\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ctbody data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eCapsicum annuum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eChilli Pepper\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCultivar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eThai Hot\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eFruiting and Edible\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePBR Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eNorth, Central, South America\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eEvergreen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eChilli plants generally grow 60 cm - 1 M\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eChilli plants generally grow 60 cm - 1 M\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eFull sun\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eWell-draining, good quality soil is important for good fruit-set.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eThough Chilli plants are tolerant of low water, they will fruit better with regular water in warm weather.

Capsaicin is toxic to most animals if ingested. Humans can tolerate capsaicin, however it can be toxic at high enough levels, so caution must be taken when ingesting chillis. Capsaicin is also harmful to sensitive areas of the skin in humans and animals.
