🌿 Origin & Appearance: The Hot Monika (Serbian) pepper is a vibrant, early-ripening variety known for its slightly spicy pericarp and upright, conical or pyramidal fruits. Each pepper measures approximately 10–12 cm long and has a smooth, rounded top. The fruits exhibit a milky white color when technically ripe and develop into a light red hue at full botanical ripeness, making them visually appealing for both fresh market sales and culinary use. Its flesh is juicy, crisp, and flavorful, providing a pleasant heat without overwhelming spiciness, which makes it versatile for a wide range of dishes.
🌱 Growth & Hardiness:
Hot Monika is classified as an early variety, completing its cycle from germination to full technological ripeness in about 115–118 days. The plant thrives in well-drained, fertile soil, and prefers full sun for optimal fruit development. With consistent watering and nutrient-rich soil, this variety produces multiple harvests, making it suitable for both home gardens and commercial cultivation.
