Growing Chilli Peppers From Seeds

 

Growing Chilli Peppers From Seeds 


To grow chili peppers from seeds, start by planting the seeds in a seed tray or small pots filled with seed-starting mix. Keep the soil consistently moist and provide warmth for germination. Once seedlings emerge, transfer them to larger pots. 

Gradually expose them to sunlight and water them regularly. Transplant them outdoors after the last frost, ensuring well-drained soil. Water consistently, and consider providing support as the plants grow. Harvest the peppers when they reach the desired size and color.
