Select a chilli variety based on your preferred heat level — from mild jalapeños to fiery habaneros.
2️⃣ Sow the Seeds
Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep in trays or pots filled with moist, loose soil. Cover lightly and mist with water.
3️⃣ Sun is Essential
Place your seeds in a sunny location that receives at least 6 hours of light daily. Warmth is key for germination!
4️⃣ Water Smartly
Keep the soil moist but never soggy. Overwatering can cause roots to rot — a common beginner mistake.
5️⃣ Transplant Young Seedlings
When plants reach 4–6 inches tall and develop several leaves, move them into larger pots or directly into garden beds.
6️⃣ Feed Your Plants
Use a balanced fertilizer every two weeks to support healthy growth and encourage flowering.
7️⃣ Harvest with Care
Pick chillies once they turn bright, firm, and glossy. Regular harvesting encourages the plant to produce even more peppers.
