Orange version of the amazing Balık pepper with fruits that mostly resemble more of Jalapeño yet they have thinner skin. Very productive, hot and flavorful variety. Orange fruits don’t hold well on plants for a long time. If you want to use the orange fruits, instead of harvesting at green stage, we recommend you to pick as soon as the color turns so that the high fruit quality is maintained.
Hot Orange Balık is great for pickling and stir-frying.

- Growing tips: Start pepper seeds indoors in seedling trays or small seedling pots with seed starting soil that has essential nutrients in it, 6-8 weeks prior to last frost. Keep the soil moist for quick germination. Make sure to keep the young pepper seedlings under good light to have strong plants with sturdy, healthy stems and leaves. Transplant after last frost in well-drained, fertile soil enrichened with compost and other amendments. Feed your pepper plants with liquid fertilizer once every two weeks. Water regularly especially in flower stage. Mulch and always water at plant base to minimize disease. Some pepper varieties are taller than others and may need to be tied to a stake so that fruits don’t touch soil and rot.
