Growing On
Traditionally chilli plants are transferred to larger pots. Chillies hate irregular watering as they are very thirsty - underwatering or sporadic watering can easily stop with the growth of your chilli plants however overwatering can be just as damaging as your chillies need good access to oxygen by the roots - little and often is the rule here.
Unless you are growing in one of our Grow kits with our plant nutrients , feed your chillies with a general liquid fertiliser until they are established. Following that use a high potash fertiliser to encourage your chillies to flower and fruit. Keep them weed-free and keep an eye out for the common pests.
For easy maintenance and superior yields (more to feast upon), a Grow Kit can make all the difference. Grow Kits ensure your plants will get just the right amount of nutrients and will never be over-watered or under-watered - helping to keep you stocked up with lots of lovely chillies.
A large growing container or pot, or one of our clever Self watering Pots.
Quadgrow or Octogrow Self-watering Pots (set of 4 or 8)
Standard pots are fine, but our best selling set of 4 or 8 chilli pots lets you go on holiday whilst even the thirstiest of chillies are kept watered at all times thanks to the 35litre reservoir, so you don't have to worry about holiday-watering.
The optional lids will protect your young plants from any late frosts and we even have a frame available to keep your plants supported as they get bigger.
In 2009 we harvested 7.9kg of fruit from one Quadgrow.
