Seriously! They were super tasty. I’m looking forward to growing them again this year. The frost came before most of them were ripe unfortunately. I may try starting them a little earlier!
Great to learn about this variety. I picked one up from the nursery last year, and only got one fruit! I moved the pot inside for the winter, and I’m looking forward to moving the established bush outside this summer. I thought it was supposed to be hot! I will enjoy this one, my son can have the scorpion fruits!!!
I think you'll see a lot more fruit production this year! That was smart of you to overwinter the plant inside to get a faster start to the season. I need to try that! Those scorpion peppers can be fun and enjoyable in small quantities but these milder peppers are much more useful! Enjoy!
Haha! 🤣 Thanks so much! I think most of that jungle is my tomatillo plants. I made a mistake by putting 4 plants in a small area and they just went insane! Overtook that whole bed. I'll be putting them somewhere else next year. Thanks for watching!
@@inchwormgardens I love the flavor of regular Habaneros. that sweet Citrusy Floral Flavor Hiding behind the intense heat. But saying that These Habaneda would make a killer Hot Sauce if you augmented them with a spicier pepper. ( All the flavor of a Habanero Sauce without the mouth searing heat..)
Thank you! I kept in a good routine of a water soluble fertilizer every two weeks until about June and then..... I just kinda stopped 😬 I was planning to keep fertilizing through the fruiting stage but I never did! I did apply a slow release fertilizer at planting time so maybe that is carrying me through 😅
I'm behind behind in viewing my fav TH-cams ;) (Your Channel!!) I love the additional info provided on these peppers. Jay loves really spicy ones and I'd like to have a large potted one. What would you recommend for relatively simple to grow and spicy good!?
Hey there! So nice to hear from you :) This one is delicious but lacking in the spice department. One of my favorites has been the "Sugar Rush Peach" pepper. Great flavor and good amount of spice without being too much. I'll be growing several new spicy peppers next year so I'll have some more recommendations then :)
Bummer! I only got one or two good harvests before my first frost too. Wish we had a longer growing season! I'm going to start my peppers a little bit earlier next season. Hopefully that helps. Good luck!
2:52 I would be so pissed right here if it was still hot. I grew Nadapenas last year and they were good, but I realized I could live with jalepano heat. This might be the nadapepper I need.
Haha! That would be quite the surprise! Yes, I would highly recommend this one because the flavor is so good. I love the Habenero flavor but I personally couldn't eat one raw like this. Give it a try!
Hey there! I just pulled a green one off my plant to test this for you and I can report that it was NOT spicy at all. It sounds like you might have a real deal Habanero!
It takes about a week for them to germinate. Mine sprouted a little earlier than that because I kept a heat mat under them. They like it nice and warm! Between 70-80 degrees. Good luck!
I've got four habanada plants going right now, and all four have their leaves curling upwards. I've seen different and contradictory answers as to why pepper plants do that. I believe the habanada wants a lot of heat, but the one plant started curling once I gave it a lot more heat, so I'm confused. Any idea why the leaves would be curling on the habanada, and not any of my other pepper varities? Thanks!
Hey Jon! That's really interesting that only the 4 Habanadas are having that issue. Maybe it's a genetic thing? I really don't know to be honest. I found this article which will hopefully help in your quest. Good luck! peppergeek.com/pepper-plant-leaves-curling/
I have this exact same issue, I'm growing fresnos, hawks claw, portugese peppers and habanadas but only the habanadas are growing slowly with their leaves curled upwards. Makes me wonder if this variety is more needy than the others in some way, would love to know if you figured something out
Hello! Once the fruit is fully mature then you can simply cut it open, pull out the seeds and leave them on a paper towel to dry for a couple weeks. Then they should be good to go!
I grew these for the first time in 2021. Couldn't stop eating them and there were a ton! It did take a long time for them to turn dark orange.
Seriously! They were super tasty. I’m looking forward to growing them again this year. The frost came before most of them were ripe unfortunately. I may try starting them a little earlier!
Love these variety spotlights!! So fun!! Thank you for sharing your experiences with us!!
Thank you so much!

How is it doing?
How's it going? Mine only had one fruit so I moved it to some shade and its got 40+ fruits.
Had no idea these existed! Thanks!
Glad I could introduce you to them!
That is a cool backstory on the pepper!! Sounds like they are yummy too.
Thank you! Very tasty!
I grew some. Had only 2 , my peppers did so poorly this year due to white flys on them when under grow lights. They tasted great, the 2 I got!!!
Well, at least you got to enjoy a couple of them! I hope you'll have more success with them next year :)
Watching ur video trying to figure out WHAT THE HECK is all in that jungle you call a garden 🤣🤣 great work, subbed
Haha! 🤣 Thanks so much! I think most of that jungle is my tomatillo plants. I made a mistake by putting 4 plants in a small area and they just went insane! Overtook that whole bed. I'll be putting them somewhere else next year. Thanks for watching!
My habanada seedlings are doing great, can’t wait to try them this year
Awesome!! Enjoy!
Awesome story, I love the way you told it but I would guess it would be NMSU not UNM.
Thanks! You're probably right about that!
Salsa seems like good application for these
Yess! They would make an excellent mild salsa!

@@barryismygod oh yes! Great idea. I love the habanero flavor too.
Wow, your plant is so productive.
What's your fertilizer routine during the fruiting ?
Thank you! I kept in a good routine of a water soluble fertilizer every two weeks until about June and then.....

Mine took so long too mature in north Florida that I don't think I'll get any to ripe this year.
Bummer! I only got one or two good harvests before my first frost too. Wish we had a longer growing season! I'm going to start my peppers a little bit earlier next season. Hopefully that helps. Good luck!
You can add them when making a spicy sauce to enhance the pepper flavor without also increasing the heat!
Great idea! Thank you!
I just bought seeds for these for the first time!
Woohoo! I think you'll really enjoy these!
My habanada plants are loaded with peppers and have been for awhile, but they are not turning orange. Help?!
I'm in the same boat! These peppers take fooooorever to ripen. We just have to be patient 😅 They will turn orange eventually!
Just got my first large harvest off mine in zone 6a... definitely took a bit to ripen
Same! My Cheiro Roxa is taking forever and is loaded
Habanadas can ripen off the vine.

Did you try them green? I tried one green and it was spicy as all hell. I wonder if they only turn mild once ripe or if I got scammed.

@@inchwormgardens Oof, that's a shame. Oh well, habaneros are good too. Thanks for testing it out for me, I really appreciate it!
@@noob19087 You're welcome!
How long does it take for the seeds of Habanada to germinate?
It takes about a week for them to germinate. Mine sprouted a little earlier than that because I kept a heat mat under them. They like it nice and warm! Between 70-80 degrees. Good luck!

Greetings, how do you get the seeds or when do you take them out of the fruit?
Hello! Once the fruit is fully mature then you can simply cut it open, pull out the seeds and leave them on a paper towel to dry for a couple weeks. Then they should be good to go!
@@inchwormgardens it is open pollinated habanada sweet Baker creek
@@claudiososa6507 Hello! Yes this is an open pollinated variety so the seeds can be save and will grow true to type.
