Hot Plants

 
Ornamental chilli
”Capsicum is available in many colours and types. And especially in autumn where there are fewer plants to buy, they brighten up the living rooms nicely,” says Carsten Leth, Ex-Plant. Pot sizes varying from 6 to 17 cm allow for a wide range of applications. Capsicum is also very sturdy, both in transit, in the shop and at the customer’s. It tolerates drying between waterings and is a rewarding plant to keep. Solanum is also available in new, easy-to-cultivate versions that are great for the terrace or doorstep and even tolerate slight frost. The hardy plants are well-matched for the busy home if you want to liven up the house but have little time to water and potter about your plants.

Ex-Plant has launched a new, beautiful Solanum ”Supreme” with particularly large fruits. Produced in 17 cm pots, it is highly suitable as an eyecatcher in outdoor tubs as summer draws to a close.

Tasty chilli
The continued development of chilli varieties helps maintain interest in the culture and appeals to the younger consumer segment. The edible chilli is hot in more ways than one. Chilli is widely used in the modern, globally influenced food culture and chillies are readily used in sauces, pastas, omelettes and soups. This makes it handy to have close to hand on the window sill.
 
”We’re experiencing enhanced interest in edible plants, and chillies have great potential. We’ve started developing products within the entire taste range – from the very mild ones that you can pick and eat right off the plant - to the very hot ones,” says Carsten Leth. The edible chillies are produced using biological pest and disease control (beneficial animals) to avoid chemicals. ”While we understand the culture and how to develop it, GASA knows the market. They know the demand, and we know how to get there,” explains Carsten Leth, who has a ping-pong dialogue with GASA. This means that new capsicum, solanum and chilli varieties are constantly en route for the benefit of consumers all over Europe.
