Growing Chilli The Right Way
Are you looking for ways to on how to grow your own chilli plant? I know it is not an easy task to do and in some times it can be very frustrating. Check this article and I hope you will get some good information.
Chilli Growing Instructions - How to Grow Your Own Chillies Make sure you familiarize yourself with the whole guide first and then use it as a reference as your plant grows.
Introduction
Growing a chilli plant is actually very straight forward, but there isn't much information about what to do to make sure you get the best from your plants once they have sprouted. Chillies do like the warmth, but will grow nicely indoors,in a greenhouse or even outside in pots (although make sure that you bring them in at the first sign of frost).
You can begin planting your seeds whenever you desire, but ideally sometime around March would produce best results, as the natural lighting conditions from then onwards will supply most of the plants conditional requirements in order to maximize your yield of chillies.
Sowing The Seeds
If you have one of our Chilli Willy Grow Kits, then follow the instructions on the insert, using this guide to get the most from your plants. In order to sow your chilli seeds you are going to need seeding trays. If you don't have any, a standard plastic plant pot will do. You will also need some good quality potting compost, which can be obtained from your local garden center.
To start, fill the plant pot to around 3/4 full with compost, making sure the soil is loose and has no hard lumps in it. Next, you will need to place a few of the seeds lightly on top of the soil. Ensure they are evenly spaced out, and sprinkle about 5mm or so of soil over the seeds.
Dampen the soil in your container, and place in a warm place as the seeds need this warmth in order for them to successfully germinate. This also increases the germination rate.
Using your airing cupboard is a safe bet, as this will have a very near to perfect temperature range and provide your germinating seeds with a more or less constant temperature, which is important to make sure your plants are warm enough to sprout!
The temperature range that works best for germinating is 27-32 degrees Centigrade (80-90 degrees Fahrenheit). Germination outside this range can produce mixed and inconsistent results.
Make sure you keep the soil in the container damp (not waterlogged, as this can prevent germination). The best way to do this is with a sprayer or fine mist as it causes less disturbance to the seeds and the soil temperature.
Your seeds will sprout in about 7-10 days, but they can take longer, so be patient. Some can take up to 3 weeks or longer and shoots may emerge some time after the first shoot(s) have emerged.
When they do decide to emerge, you will see that each seed produces a green shoot, that will develop into a stalk with 2 green leaves.
Useful Tip: When this happens, you will need to place your seedlings in a place where they will get a lot of light - a window sill is perfect.
The reason being is that if the new plants do not get enough light at this stage, you will end up with a thin and whispy plant which won't be as stable and strong as it could be. Remember to keep watering your plants, but now you can reduce how often you water them to every couple of days. Just keep the top of the soil damp - use your finger to test this.
When They Get A Bit Bigger...
As your chili plant grows, eventually it will need a bigger pot. Normally plants will limit their growth to best accommodate the size of pot they are in, so you will need to replant into a bigger pot when they get too big for their current one. One way of knowing when to transfer the plant to a bigger pot is by looking at the bottom of the current one. If you can see roots through the drainage holes then this is a good indication that you will need to replant into a bigger pot.
Another way a plant will let you know it needs more space is by wilting suddenly, especially if the soil is still moist. If the top layer of soil is dry to the touch then a good watering is needed. Again, check if you can see any roots at the bottom of the pot. Chillies can also be planted outside, but make sure you are past the last of the frost for the winter as chillies don't like the frost.
An outdoor pot is perfect for this as you can move plants into the greenhouse or indoors if a sudden spell of cold weather should arise.
Plants that are kept outside usually have stronger stems as they adapt to the wind.
When your chile plant starts to show the first signs of producing fruit, (not only will you be incredibly amused as they develop), but you will have to make sure they are well nourished.
Useful Tip:
A good general tomato fertilizer will provide all the nutrients your plant needs, although if you can, use a fertiliser with a high Phosphorus content and low Nitrogen content - follow the instructions on the packet. Plants should be fed about 1-2 times per week at the same time as watering.
