When you get they need potting up in a starter pot with good quality compost and 30% Coir mix - very important with peatless compost being an issue for Chilli Plants
Water from the bottom, wet soil on top is too wet - top soil needs to be dry and feed with Chilli Focus and our Nutrient Booster Balls
Grow Tips if bought Before Spring
Keep warm at around 14-19c without drying them out too quickly
Ideal conditions is to have a warm sunny spot or a grow lamp, if using Min 8 of light - 16 hours max
When you get the seedlings they will need potting up in a 7-9 cm Starter Pot
Soil - A mixture of good quality compost and coir - the coir is very important to add for chilli plants, with compost now peat free it needs the coir to control the water while providing pockets of air, peatless will stunt growth
Keep indoors until Spring has arrived and harden the plants before leaving outside fully, ideally in a polytunnel or greenhouse
BY Spring the plants should be potted up to a 5-10 litre pot, you have time to go from 5 litre and then 10 litre in May
Grow Tips Spring - May
When you get the seedlings they will need potting up in a 7-9 cm Starter Pot
Soil - A mixture of good quality compost and coir - the coir is very important to add for chilli plants, with compost now peat free it needs the coir to control the water while providing pockets of air, peatless will stunt growth
If night temps are fair 5-10c then can be inside a polytunnel or greenhouse, if you dont have then leave on a windowsill until the plants are established in the starter pot
Once they need potting up go to a 5 -10 Litre - The later it is in spring the smaller the pot size, this ensures a better harvest by end of summer, with larger tubs later in Spring the plant will spend time growing roots and then the branches and flowers delaying this process will delay the harvest
Grow Tips May - June
May is the last month we sell plugs, at this stage keep the pot size to start with 7-9cm starter pot and then max 5 litre for a harvest at the end of the year
Last Grow Tip
The climate is very important, compost with coir - water and feed from the bottom, dry top wet bottom and a warm sunny place without it being direct sunlight behind glass which is too strong
Chilli Plants especially superhots depend on Caribbean style climate, this will produce the conditions they have evolved in
