Planning your site
Chilli peppers grow really well in fertile, moisture retentive soil or compost in pots, containers and grow bags. They are best sited in a warm greenhouse or polytunnel unless you can provide a very sheltered site where your plants are guaranteed sun and warmth outside. They will need plenty of air circulation so leave at least 20cm between plants.
Growing tips
Stake your plant and pinch out the tops to encourage branching when it is around 30cm tall. Water regularly especially in hot weather, and feed every two weeks with a general purpose liquid fertiliser once the flowers first appear.
What to watch out for
Chilli peppers are prone to Aphids, Whitefly and Grey Mould
What to do when your plants arrive
- Unpack them. Your seedlings will arrive carefully packed in bio-degradable straw, cardboard and paper. They may look a little bit bedraggled from their journey. Don’t panic – this is totally normal and they should soon perk up. Please try and unpack your plants as soon as they arrive, as every extra hour they spend in the box will add to the stress of travelling to their new home.
- Give them a drink. Having spent a day or two in the post, your new plants will be thirsty! Stand them up in some fresh water for a few minutes to make sure their roots have been thoroughly soaked before planting.
- Plant them out into their forever home! Your plants can’t wait to get their roots into the soil. Plant them out according to the instructions that will have come in the box with them. Make sure you water them in well, and give them plenty to drink until their roots have had a chance to get settled.
