Aji is simply the South American word for chile pepper, and like most ajis this is a Capsicum baccatum, the group known for fruity, complex flavor. Red long tapered pods on a 36 to 42 inch plant that wants full sun and 70 to 85F in a large container, with 80 to 90 days on the clock.What you are getting: a seedling, minimum 8 weeks old and at least 6 inches tall. It is not a finished plant. It will need transplanting into a container, so choose the container accordingly: these will grow in anything from a half gallon up, but the pot determines the yield in many cases, and some varieties do better than others in a small one.If it is going outside: harden it off first. Give it a few hours a day somewhere sheltered and out of direct sun, and build that up over a week or so before it lives outdoors full time. A seedling put straight out is a seedling you can lose.Feeding: do not fertilise for the first two weeks. After that, use a balanced fertiliser.More on this variety, and on growing peppers generally, at wikipepper.org.
