Both its leaves, mottled with green and white patches, and its 3–6 cm fruits are ornamental. Young fruits are green with white stripes, then turn orange with almost brown stripes, and become bright red when fully ripe. The heat is high – 7\/10 on the producer’s scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e bushy, approx. 60 cm tall, variegated leaves\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFruit:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–6 cm, striped, bright red when ripe\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHeat:\u003c\/strong\u003e high, 7\/10 on the producer’s scale\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSowing under cover:\u003c\/strong\u003e February – March\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePlanting out:\u003c\/strong\u003e after May 15–20, preferably under cover or in pots\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e July–October\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePosition:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun, warm, well-drained soil\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e challenging – requires warmth and a long growing season\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSeeds per packet:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eWhat makes this variety special\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVariegated foliage is rare in peppers, so Fish Pepper catches the eye as soon as the seedlings appear, long before the fruits develop. The fruits change appearance throughout the season – from green with white stripes to red – so the plant remains ornamental from spring to autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is also a full-fledged culinary pepper with pronounced heat, often found in chili enthusiasts’ collections. Because its variegated leaves contain less chlorophyll, the plant grows a little more slowly than varieties with green foliage and particularly appreciates sunshine and warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eGrowing step by step\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eSowing (February – March, under cover):\u003c\/strong\u003e Sow the seeds 2–3 mm deep in a light, moist seed-starting mix. Keep the container at a steady temperature of 23–28 °C. Hot peppers germinate more slowly than sweet peppers, usually within 8–15 days, so a heat mat works well. Keep the growing medium slightly moist, and once the seedlings emerge, give them as much light as possible, ideally with supplemental lighting, to prevent them from becoming leggy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003ePricking out:\u003c\/strong\u003e When the seedlings have developed 3–4 true leaves, transplant them individually into pots 8–10 cm in diameter, keeping them warm. Harden off the seedlings for the last 7–10 days before planting out, placing them outdoors for a few hours each day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003ePlanting out (after May 15–20):\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant the seedlings in a greenhouse, polytunnel or the warmest, sheltered spot in the garden, spacing them approx. 50 × 50 cm apart. The soil should be fertile, well-drained and enriched with compost. For container growing, choose a pot with a capacity of at least 5–10 l.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water regularly and moderately, preferably in the morning and without wetting the leaves. Both letting the soil dry out and keeping it constantly wet will weaken fruiting. Feed the plants with an organic fertilizer high in potassium while the fruits are setting. Stake taller bushes laden with fruit. At the end of August, it is worth pinching out the shoot tips so the plant can focus on ripening the fruit that has already set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eUses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFruits harvested while still green and white striped have a slightly milder flavor and look great in \u003cstrong\u003epickles\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003esalsas\u003c\/strong\u003e.
