Product Details

Half Horn Citro F1 is a hybrid sweet pepper featuring medium-length, tapered “horn” fruits that ripen from pale green or yellowish to vivid golden-yellow.

It offers succulent, thick-walled flesh, a sweet mild flavor, and excellent market appeal.

Designed for high-yield greenhouse or field cultivation, it’s productive and visually striking.

Stress Resistance

Performs well in warm to hot conditions.
Thick flesh reduces handling damage; plants typically robust under variable conditions.

Immunity Boosting

Likely includes genetic resistance to common pepper viruses (e.g., TMV), typical in F1 hybrids.
Strong, uniform growth reduces disease risk.

Temperature Tolerance

Optimal growth: 20–30 °C; seeds germinate best above ≈24 °C.
Minimum: night temperatures above 10–12 °C.
Sensitive to frost; store harvested peppers at 10–13 °C with ~85% relative humidity.
