A lovely c. Chinense variety with dark foliage and very dark, teardrop shaped pods.
The plant likes to grow quite tall and lanky before splitting with roughly 3 flowers per node, which makes for a very productive plant.
Mine had no issues with being in a small solo cup for its whole life and happily produced about 30 pods for me.
Like the Black Peach Chupetinho x Ninfadora, it is very difficult to tell when this pepper is ripe.
My method is, to shine a light near the plant when it is dark. Ripe pods will glow purple/pink/peach. Another telltale sign is that the calyx will begin to lift, revealing a peach coloured underlayer near the top of the pod.
