Thompson and Morgan Pepper Chilli Mild Patio Galaxy Red Plant Pot 9cm

These may be small plants, but they are perfectly sized to sit on kitchen windowsills out of the way. These will produce masses of delicious little red fruits; however, these will remain neat and compact. Chilli peppers may be grown undercover in a greenhouse or polytunnel, or grown outdoors in a sheltered position in full sun. Small varieties can also be grown on a sunny kitchen windowsill. Pot up young plants and grow them on in warm, frost-free conditions. When plants are well-grown, transplant them into grow bags and containers, or plant them in well-prepared beds of fertile, well-drained soil. When growing chilli peppers outdoors, gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over a period of seven to ten days prior to transplanting them. Space pepper plants at a distance of 50cm apart. Water chilli pepper plants regularly throughout the growing season and feed weekly with a high-potash tomato fertiliser once the first fruits have set. Taller varieties of chilli peppers may require staking. Provide a thick mulch of organic matter around the base of the plants to help conserve moisture and reduce weed growth. In greenhouses, maintain high humidity by damping down paths daily. Harvest chillies singly by cutting them from the plant with secateurs or pull the entire plant when full of red peppers, and hang upside down in the kitchen for use all year round. Chilli peppers grown outdoors must be harvested before the first frosts. Product specifications: Position: Full Sun. Height: 30cm. Spread: 25cm. Flowering months: June to September.
