1. For the seeds to germinate well, a seed tray(up to 3 inches deep) provides the most conducive environment. Fill the seed tray with soil and spread the chilli seeds on it. Add only a thin layer of soil above the seeds and then sprinkle some water. Keep the seeds warm and moist and they will start germinating in a week or two.
2. A 12” pot would be ideal for growing chillies, or you can even use a container of similar dimensions. So, once the seeds have germinated in the seed tray, pick out the saplings and plant them separately in pots or containers.
3. Chillies grow best in warm and humid conditions. Place the pot in an area that receives at least 5-6 hours of sunlight every day. Also, remember that you are the only source of water for the potted plant, so ensure that you keep it fed.
4. That’s it, you’re done! In around two months time (60-70 days) your chillies should be ready to be picked. Since you’re likely to have more than you’ll need, you can even dry some chillies and store for use throughout the year.
