FAQ:
Q: How long does it take for chillies to grow?
A: Most chilli plants begin producing fruit about 60–90 days after planting.
Q: Can I grow chillies in colder climates?
A: Yes! Start indoors early in the season and move outdoors once the danger of frost has passed.
Q: How can I make my chillies spicier?
A: Stressing the plant slightly (by reducing water) once it’s established can sometimes intensify the heat!
Q: My plant has flowers but no fruit — why?
A: This could be due to lack of pollination. Gently shake the plant or hand-pollinate with a small brush.
