Chilli 'Thai Chilli Hot'

A compact chilli from Thailand. Masses of tiny upright crimson-red fruit with the Thai name Prik kil Noo Suan. 

Chilies require heat to grow well, so in Melbourne they are planted in spring and harvested during late summer and into autumn. 
Cultivate the soil beforehand using plenty of compost. Plant in a sunny spot with good air circulation, as they are prone to fungal problems, and avoid planting where tomatoes and eggplants have grown in the previous three years.

Although they love the heat, it is worth shielding them on days of extreme temperatures to prevent flower loss.
