- •Choose suitable chilli varieties like Jalapeño or Cayenne pepper that thrive in pots and limited space.
- •Select a pot 12-16 inches wide and deep with proper drainage holes to prevent root rot.
- •Use a potting mix of regular soil, compost, and vermiculite/perlite for good aeration.
- •Ensure plants receive 5-7 hours of direct sunlight daily and water when the top inch of soil is dry.
- •Apply liquid fertilizer every 2-3 weeks, use potassium-rich fertilizer after flowering, and prune dry leaves. Control pests with neem oil.
