Sowing, Seeds, Planting For a good crop, chillies are definitely better in containers, under cover, as this helps develop the intense heat, taste and flavour. If growing outside they need a warm, sunny position or they can be grown in a grow frame. Plants are ready to put into their permanent cropping position once the roots fill a 9cm pot. Pot them up into 2lt pots of good compost in late April (if growing in a heated greenhouse), mid-May (unheated greenhouse) or late May/early June if growing outside.
Care Tips Pinch out the growing tip when plants reach about 15-20cm (6-8in) high to encourage bushy growth and better cropping. You can also pinch back the sideshoots if lots of smaller chillies are desired. Water regularly and feed with a general liquid fertiliser, switching to a high potash tomato fertiliser. when the first chillies have set. Mist the foliage regularly, especially under cover, with tepid water to improve cropping.
