Many people like eating chilies and they are good for health. In fact, we know that people have been growing chilies for years.
Here are three tips for growing chilies:
| Fill an 8 cm pot with earth. There should be holes in the bottom of the pot, so water can runout. Put several seeds in the pot, and wait for the plants to grow. Put each plant in its own 8 cm pot when the plants reach about 2 cm high, and then put each of them in a 12 cm pot when the roots show through the holes in the bottom of the pot. Tie the plants to a stick to help them grow when they are 20 cm high. When the chilies are 30cm high, pick the tops off with your fingers. That should make new branches grow. When the first flowers show, give them some plant food to make them strong. When the weather is warm, put them outside. Make sure they get plenty of light and water. |
Watching the chilies growing up little by little is also a happy experience.
