Features of Hot Chocolate F1 PMT

Hot Chocolate F1 PMT belongs to the Cucurbita pepo family and is a bushy, compact variety. The plants are vigorous and easy to manage, making them suitable for smaller gardens and compact growing areas. This variety regularly produces uniformly sized fruits, resulting in an attractive overall harvest.

Although pumpkins are edible, they are primarily prized as ornamental gourds for their distinctive caramel color and decorative appearance. Their beautiful ribs and sturdy stems make them perfect for fall decorations, pumpkin arrangements, and creative flower arrangements.

Cultivation and care

Hot Chocolate F1 PMT grows best in warm, well-drained soil. For an early and successful harvest, the variety can be pre-grown and planted out from late April, or direct-sown from early May.

The optimal germination temperature is between 24–30°C, which ensures rapid and uniform emergence. When sowing, it's advisable to place the pointed end of the seed downward or flat and not to keep the seed too moist. After germination, the young plants should be transplanted to a brighter, cooler location to ensure strong, healthy growth.

Due to its bushy and compact growth, Hot Chocolate F1 PMT is relatively easy to grow and can be maintained in approximately 1.5 to 2 square meters per plant, ensuring optimal plant density and a healthy yield.

Ripening and harvest

Hot Chocolate F1 PMT matures in approximately 90 days, making it a mid-early variety with a reliable yield. The fruits are firm and durable, making them long-lasting and suitable for ornamental and market use.

The compact and bushy growth makes it possible to plant several plants close together, keeping cultivation efficient and manageable.

Decorative value and applications

Hot Chocolate F1 PMT is perfect for fall decorations, garden parties, and creative projects. The caramel brown color creates a warm, inviting look and makes the pumpkins a visual highlight in seasonal arrangements.

The well-proportioned stems and ribs give the fruits a natural and aesthetic appearance, ideal for flower arrangements, table decorations and creative DIY projects.
