Apocalypse Naga Bhut is aimed at growers who want a serious superhot challenge. The name brings together the fiery reputation of Naga and Bhut-style chillies, making it an intriguing addition to a collection. This is a variety to grow for its heat and its appeal to chilli enthusiasts. Exact lineage and fruit characteristics are not consistently documented, so plants may differ between seed lines. Treat the heat figure as a broad guide rather than a confirmed measurement. Superhot chillies can transform a sauce or chilli paste with only a tiny amount. Add carefully and taste as you go. Wear gloves when handling the fruits, and wash equipment thoroughly after preparing them.
Start seeds in a warm propagator and keep seedlings in good light. These plants need a long season and are best in a greenhouse or sunny positions with some shelter in the UK. Avoid cold conditions, and provide support if branches become laden with fruit.
