Bird’s Eye Chilli Plant 

Ignite your garden and your palate with Pepperhub’s Premium Bird’s Eye Chilli Plant. Locally known in Kerala as Kanthari Mulaku, this traditional variety is famous for its intense heat, distinct aroma, and incredible medicinal properties. Sourced from the high-altitude farms of Wayanad, our saplings are hardy, perennial, and prolific bearers, ensuring you have a steady supply of these “tiny dynamites” all year round.

Why the Pepperhub Bird’s Eye Chilli is a Must-Have:

• Exceptional Pungency: Despite their small size, Kanthari chillies rank high on the Scoville scale. They pack a punch that is perfect for authentic spicy chutneys, pickles, and curries.

• Medicinal Powerhouse: Traditionally used in Ayurveda, the Bird’s Eye Chilli is known to boost metabolism, aid digestion, and help in maintaining healthy cholesterol and blood pressure levels.

• Perennial Growth: Unlike common chilli varieties that die out after a season, the Kanthari is a hardy perennial shrub that can live and produce fruit for several years.

• High-Yielding & Low-Maintenance: Once established, a single plant can produce hundreds of chillies. It is naturally resistant to many common pests that plague larger chilli varieties.

• Ornamental Appeal: With its upright-pointing fruits that change from ivory white/green to fiery red, this plant looks stunning in kitchen gardens, balconies, or terrace pots.

Success Tips for Your Kanthari Plant

1. Potting & Placement: If growing on a terrace, use a medium-sized pot with excellent drainage. Place it where it can get at least 5–6 hours of sunlight.

2. Feeding for Heat: Use Pepperhub’s Jaiva Samridhi or Cow Dung Powder every month to ensure the plant has the nutrients needed to produce high-capsaicin fruits.

3. Watering Wisdom: Do not overwater. Let the topsoil dry out slightly between watering sessions; Kanthari plants prefer “moist but not soggy” conditions.

4. Harvesting: Pick the chillies frequently once they reach full size. This encourages the plant to produce more flowers and fruit continuously.
