What distinguishes this variety
Cyklon is an early variety valued for its stability and predictability. The bushes are compact, well-branched, fruits set abundantly and ripen evenly from green to deep red. Unlike exotic habanero or bhut jolokia, Cyklon does not require a hot climate – it fruits successfully under cover, and in warmer regions of Poland also outdoors.
Cultivation step by step
Sowing (March, under cover): sow seeds in boxes or trays with light substrate, at 22–25°C. Germination appears after 10–14 days.
Pricking out: when seedlings develop their first pair of true leaves, transplant them into 7–8 cm pots or trays with 6 cm holes.
Planting (second half of May): after all frost has passed, plant seedlings in the ground or in pots (min. 5 l) spaced 40 × 40 cm apart. Well-prepared, humus-rich soil and a sheltered location are key.
Care: regular, moderate watering at the root (not on leaves), fertilize every 2 weeks with fertilizer for fruiting vegetables. The first flower buds can be removed to encourage better branching.
Usage
Cyclone is versatile: excellent for preserves (pastes, oils, marinades), for drying (ground chili for the whole year), for raw consumption in salads and salsa. Especially recommended as a home spice – one plant usually produces 30–50 fruits, providing a supply of chili for home cooking for the entire season and more.
Gardener's tip
Hot peppers are impatient – do not sow earlier than March, but not later than April. Sowing too early (February) requires supplementary lighting, otherwise seedlings will become leggy. Sowing too late – you will only manage to harvest green fruits, as ripening to red takes an additional 3–4 weeks.
