Very beautiful indoor Bhut Jolokia pepper tree. You should be able to keep that plant alive for several years hopefully. My seeds didn't come from NMSU but my peppers look exactly the same. Nice job.
I would like to extract the seeds and dry them. What is the best way to ensure maximum germination. How long after drying the seeds can you plant them?
No need to dry the seeds, they will germinate right away, just make sure to use ripe pods for best seeds. If you plan to store the seeds then let them dry before bagging and storing.
