Habanero peppers grow best in warm, sunny climates with well-drained soil and regular irrigation. Land should be cleared, tilled, and enriched with compost. High-yielding varieties like Legon 18 are ideal. Seedlings are raised in nurseries and transplanted at 4–6 weeks. Plants need regular watering, spacing, mulching, and timely fertilization. Common pests like aphids and whiteflies can be managed with neem spray and good hygiene. Harvest starts 75–90 days after transplanting when fruits are fully colored. With proper care, farmers can earn high returns, especially during the dry season when prices peak.
