  • Chilli (Hot Pepper)
  • Chillies can be grown successfully in both warm and cold climatic conditions. It can withstand frost upto some extent but dies at freezing temperatures. Heavy and continuous rain during flowering and fruiting results in poor fruit set and dropping of flower buds hence are avoided during rains.
  • Chillies are grown on a wide range of soils but do best in light well drained soil rich in organic matter. The seedlings require transplantation. Once the seeds are sown and the seedlings are 2 - 3 weeks old then they should be transplanted at a distance of 30 - 45 cms between plants and 45 - 60 cms between rows.
  • Once the plants grow tall, staking by means of a wooden stick may be required to keep the plant upright. The fruits are harvested after 85 - 90 days of sowing and continue well upto 5 - 6 months thereafter.
  • Chillies can be grown in pots too. Prepare the seedlings in small poly bags or cane baskets and transplant them into a 9” - 12” pot after 2 - 3 weeks. You can sow directly into pots too if space is a problem. Sow the seeds and keep in semi-shade till germination, gradually exposed to sun over a period of one week and then always keep in sunlight.
  • The fruits should be snapped or twisted off from the stem. Chillies are generally harvested mature green and for condiments when they are fully ripened and turn red.

Step by Step Growth Guide

1. Sowing

Chillies are grown through transplanting method.

Choose a seedling tray that suits the purpose and fill it with POT-O-MIX (growing Medium)

Sow 2 seeds per cavity at 0.4 cms depth. Cover lightly.

For hobby growing, you can sow direct into pots. Put 2-3 seeds in a 12" pot.

The spacing on raised / seed beds should be 45 cms between plants and 60 cms between rows.

Water gently and keep in shade till they germinate.

2. Nurturing

Chilli seeds will germinate in about 4 - 6 days. Gradually expose them to sunlight over a period of next 10 - 15 days.

The seedlings are ready for transplanting by the end of 4th week (30 days).

A day prior and 2 days after transplanting, feed PLANT STARTER (shock absorber, root enhancer)

Check the soil for moisture and water accordingly.

You might need to stake the plants once they fruit. The fruits causes the plant to become heavy and not remain upright. Give a support of the stake (bamboo) to keep it upright.

Fertilisation should be done 10 days after transplanting and continue at intervals of every 15 days. Choose from ORGANIC or INORGANIC options.

Chillies are ready for harvest in 60 days from transplanting or 85 - 90 days from sowing.

Harvest as and when chillies are ready. This encourages more yields. Cut the chillies off the plant with scissors and not pluck or pull by hands.
