The KS Lemon Starrburst Chilli plant is a medium-heat Capsicum Chinese species, originating from the USA. Its lemon-shaped pods mature from green to yellow and have a thin skin and a crunchy flesh with a moderate amount of seeds. The plant prefers full sun exposure and temperatures between 18-35°C. It can be grown in containers or on the ground, and well-draining soil is recommended. Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged, to avoid root rot, and fertilize with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season.

Maximize yield and promote healthy growth by pruning the plant regularly, removing lower leaves and branches that are no longer productive. Supporting the plant with a stake or cage is also recommended, as it can become heavy with fruit and prone to falling over.

Wait until the pods are fully mature and yellow to pick them by hand, or cut the whole plant and hang it upside down to allow the pods to dry and mature further. The dried pods can be stored for later use, or used fresh in cooking. The KS Lemon Starrburst chilli plant is typically ready to harvest in about 100+ days.

The heat level of the KS Lemon Starrburst Chilli plant is often 100,000+ SHUs, with the yellow pods having the strongest flavor and heat level.

Pests and diseases can be a challenge for any plant, but the Aji Lemon Starrburst Chilli plant is generally not prone to many issues. However, aphids, spider mites, and whiteflies can sometimes attack the plant. Using insecticidal soap or neem oil can help to control these pests.

The KS Lemon Starrburst Chilli plant's combination of sweet and spicy flavours makes it a versatile ingredient in a variety of dishes. Try using it in stir-fries, curries, or sauces to add a unique and delicious twist.
