I have a thai dragon pepper plant outside in my garden. I have also planted some hot portugal peppers as well. The hot portugal peppers are having no problem growing. To be honest, (I’m a noob) and when I saw the white flowers dying I got really worried and thought that the entire plant was dying. Then days later I found a green pepper growing out of where the flower used to be! Now all I’m worried about is the Thai dragon plant. It looks healthy but I do not see any white flowers, or any sprouting peppers! It has been weeks already, help!!

I’ve got a couple nice Tai Dragon plants going now, to be honest it’s one of the easiest for me to grow. It does have a nice heat to it but I wouldn’t say it’s even close to intolerable.. I’d put it on the same scale as a Cayenne or Kung pao But the taste is incredible, very sweet with a nice kick, It’s one of a few I love to pluck right off the plant and eat raw I also love cooking them into a big pot of Spagetti sauce!
Want to try another really good and moderately hot pepper of the Cayenne variety?
Try the “Charlestown Hot” It’s a little hotter and larger then the Tai Dragon but it’s another great pepper that work real well in several dishes.

Peppers like to be outside in hot and humid weather. They especially like full sun. Try moderate watering and move the plant outside where it receives full sun. Usually when you see flowers it means the peppers are about to come out.

I bought one a few months ago at the Farmers Market and it starts to flower and they die. I’ve tried watering, then not watering, then watering again… all I get are tiny green bugs and dead flowers…. it’s inside…. any suggestions rachelboatright@yahoo.com THANKS I’m a newbie

Fern – the heat is really intense and I try to only use the skin and not the seeds!

Rowena – I wasn’t sure about scoville count compare to others but I just looked it up and it’s not as hot as the habarnero peppers!

Looking at the scoville count….YOW! I’m another one that tends to rub the eyes after handling peppers, so I know exactly what you mean. Look forward to an upcoming pepper harvest!

I’m a little scared to try super hot peppers like this one. The heat sounds intense!
