Jalapeno Senorita - chili seeds

Fruit description:

Up to 3 cm wide and 10 cm long, the pod of this pepper is massive and thick-walled. Compared to common peppers, it stands out for its higher weight of usable parts. However, it will not satisfy hunger, as we cannot expect this hot pepper to replace wheat or rice. The pepper ripens from dark green to shiny red. It has a cylindrical shape with a blunt tip and hangs on a sturdy stem. The taste is initially vegetable-like and sweet, gradually giving way to a mild spiciness that is subtle and pleasant even for those who are not used to spicy foods.

Plant description:

Jalapeno Senorita is a medium-tall variety growing to approximately 70 cm. It is a compact hot pepper bush with strong green branches that become woody at the base at the end of the year. The leaves are larger, egg-shaped, and set further apart from the internodes. They are light green in color with prominent veins. The flowers are typically white, as is usual for jalapenos, and this variety also boasts larger flowers.

Growing requirements:

Jalapeno Senorita responds very well to proper watering, which is reflected in the juiciness of the fruit. When the fruit is still green, it is recommended to thoroughly water the root ball, while limiting watering during ripening. After harvesting, if the plant bears more green fruit, repeat the process. Although this variety is not very tall, it is important not to plant it too densely so that there is enough space around the plant for handling. Its branches are fragile, so it is recommended to tie them up to keep the bush compact. This pepper thrives best in humus-rich, alkaline, and well-aerated soil, which provides ideal growing conditions.
