Commonly Asked Questions
How to look after chilli plants in pots?
Chilli plants grow best with a mix of dry and moist conditions. Ensure the soil is well-draining and keep it moist but not waterlogged. It's advisable to water the plants judiciously, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between watering sessions.
Do chilli plants like sun or shade?
Chillies thrive in full sun and will produce more fruits if positioned in a sunny area with good airflow. Partial shade is less ideal and may lead to lower fruit production.
What month do you plant chillies?
January and February are the best months to start sowing chilli seeds indoors. You can sow seeds until the end of March, giving your plants ample time to mature and produce by the end of summer.
Should you pinch out the tops of chilli plants?
Yes, you should pinch out the shoot tips when they reach about 30cm (1ft) tall. This encourages the plant to produce more side-shoots, which can lead to increased fruit production.
Can I leave my chilli plant outside?
Yes, as long as there is no risk of frost. Ensure adequate drainage to prevent waterlogging and use black pots to help retain warmth in the soil.
