Overview

Also known as White Biquinho Pepper, Little Beak Pepper, or Chupetinho White, this unusual Capsicum chinense variety produces charming small peppers with a pointed tip that gives them their signature “little beak” appearance. The fruits begin green and gradually mature to a beautiful pearl white to pale yellow color.

Despite belonging to the same pepper species as many much hotter chilies, Biquinho White is considered a very mild chili pepper, generally measuring around 500–1,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). Its fruity, aromatic flavor makes it an excellent choice for gardeners who enjoy flavorful peppers without overwhelming heat.

Each order includes 3 Biquinho White Hot Chili Live Plants, giving you a convenient head start compared with growing peppers from seed. Once transplanted into suitable garden beds or containers, the plants can develop into compact, bushy pepper plants with attractive foliage and numerous small fruits throughout the warm growing season.

These versatile peppers are excellent for fresh eating, pickling, salads, salsas, appetizers, garnishes, and many other culinary creations.

Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Biquinho White Hot Chili live plants is similar to caring for most warm-season pepper varieties.

Light

Plant your Biquinho White peppers in a location receiving full sun. Approximately 6–8 or more hours of direct sunlight per day is ideal for strong plant development, flowering, and fruit production.

Adequate sunlight is especially important once the plants begin flowering and setting peppers.

Soil

Choose fertile, well-draining soil that holds some moisture without remaining waterlogged.

If growing in containers, use a quality potting mix and select pots with drainage holes so excess water can escape freely. Avoid allowing roots to remain in constantly saturated soil.

Water

Water regularly after transplanting while the roots become established.

Once established, maintain relatively consistent soil moisture, especially while plants are flowering and developing fruit. Allow the upper surface of the soil to begin drying slightly between watering sessions rather than keeping it continuously soaked.

Container-grown pepper plants may require more frequent watering during warm summer weather.

Temperature

Biquinho White is a warm-season pepper. Transplant outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and temperatures have become consistently warm.

Pepper plants generally perform best when nighttime conditions are warm rather than cold. Young plants should be gradually introduced to stronger outdoor sunlight and weather conditions before being placed permanently outdoors.

Spacing

When planting several Biquinho White peppers in a garden bed, provide approximately 18 inches of spacing between plants when possible.

Adequate spacing helps provide each plant with enough room for branching while improving sunlight exposure and air circulation.

Fertilizing

A balanced vegetable or pepper fertilizer may be applied according to product instructions during active growth.

Avoid excessive fertilization, particularly high-nitrogen feeding, because too much leafy growth can sometimes occur at the expense of flowering and pepper production.

Harvesting

Harvest peppers once they develop their mature pearl white to pale yellow coloration.

The fruits are typically small—approximately 1 inch long—and have the characteristic rounded teardrop shape with a pointed tip.

Regular harvesting can help keep the plant productive through the warm growing season.
