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
