  • Acclimate the chillies to the outdoors when they’re 4-5 inches (10-13 cm) tall. Let your chilli plants grow indoors for about 6 to 8 weeks before planting them outside. At this point, they’ll be about 4 to 5 inchesInstead of immediately planting them outside, gradually harden them to the sun over the course of 10 days. Start by setting them in filtered light for a few hours each day. Then, move them to bright, direct light, extending their time in the sun each day.
    The heat, direct sunlight, and wind can shock and damage your chilli plants if you immediately plant them outside.
    Plant the chilli plant in a spot that gets 6-8 hours of direct sunlight. Find a warm, sunny spot in your garden that gets lots of daylight and has well-draining soil. Then, dig a hole deep enough to cover the roots and base of the plant’s stem. Use a gardening fork to gently dig up some soil at the base of the hole and rake a handful of compost into it. Gently insert the plant inside the hole. Then, fill the space around it with an even mixture of soil and compost.
    Plant chilli plants at least 18 inches (45 cm) apart from any other plants to ensure that they have adequate room to grow.Keep the soil moist and feed your plants fertilizer regularly. In general, give your plants about 1 to 2 inches (2-5 cm) of water each week. If you live in a hot, sunny climate, water your chilli plant every day. Just avoid over-watering it by making sure that the soil is moist, but not swampy.[23] Then, feed your plants with a general-purpose, 1-1-1 water-soluble fertilizer according to the fertilizer’s label.
    Monitor your chilli plants for pests like aphids and spider mites. Aphids are pear-shaped and typically white or brown, while spider mites look like tiny moving dots. Typically, spraying your plant’s leaves with a hose removes either pest. If you see ladybugs around your plants, they’ll take care of the aphids for you.Make sure your plants stay warm, around 70 to 80° F (21-27° C). Only transplant your chilli plants outdoors if you live in a warm climate or have a long summer growing season. For chilli plants to grow well, their soil needs to stay around 70 to 80° F (21-27° C). In the latter case, it is best to transfer them outdoors in June. Purchase a garden fleece or a cloche a protective dome cover that goes over the plant and is burrowed into the soil around to cover plants in case of unseasonally cold weather
    Pick the chillies when they’re green, or wait for them to change color. The great thing about chillies is that you can eat them before they’re fully ripened and when they’re ripe. Regardless of its color, just make sure the chilli is fully grown and firm when you squeeze it. Then simply pluck it off the stem while wearing gloves, or cut it off with scissors.
