This being the first time growing hot peppers, I found this site very helpful in growing my Bhuts. On thing I noticed is that I have seen many posts talking about taking it very easy on the water. After doing some research on the Bhuts, I thought I would look at thier native growing conditions. What I found was surprising. Bhuts are from the Assam region of India and I found out that it is a region of excessive humidity
"The climate of Assam is depicted by its extreme humidity. Its most distinguishing feature is the abundant rainfall between March and May at a time when rain in upper India is at its minimum. By climate wise the year in Assam can be divided into the cold season and the rainy. The cold weather lasts from October to February and the rest of the year is rainy. The southwest monsoon begin in Assam from middle of June." http://www.north-east-india.com/information/climate.html
I'm planning on keeping a couple in pots in the front of our brick house...for the extreme heat during the summer. And keep them plenty moist. Just my thoughts. What do you think?
