Atomic Starfish - chili seeds

Fruit description:

The Atomic Starfish fruit is 3 cm long and up to 6 cm wide. Despite this, the pepper wall is in excellent condition – slim and tough. This variety is unique in its shape, reminiscent of a flying saucer, a star in the sky or, according to the translation, an atomic ring. Unlike atomic explosions, however, Atomic Starfish does not leave a bitter aftertaste, but is a true culinary gem. It offers several sweet gourmet experiences, with a crunchy, juicy, and sweet touch reminiscent of a fruity apple or plum intoxication. This experience is accompanied by a mild and long-lasting multi-stage spicy effect. A truly ingenious variety.

Plant description:

Atomic Starfish grows to a height of up to 140 cm and has a misshapen appearance. When mature, it has round, egg-shaped leaves with no distinctive features. Although the plant is not visually impressive, it makes up for its shortcomings with its excellent fruit. The stems are fragile and break easily at the joints.

Growing requirements:

This pepper requires attention and likes to wait until you notice it. However, if you show it that it deserves more care than other varieties, it can become proud and start to whine, discarding leaves and flowers. The grower may then resort to several contradictory rescue measures. What does this mean? Follow basic growing methods and make sure this chili pepper gets enough sun, but otherwise treat it the same as other varieties. A major challenge is its long period of not setting fruit and ripening, but once winter and cold nights arrive, Atomic Starfish is one of the first peppers to have all its fruits ready for "shipment" almost overnight. The situation should improve with gradual domestication, and this variety is definitely worth trying. However, it is susceptible to temperature fluctuations and any unstable growing conditions.
