Grow Green Chilies at Home: Expert Tips for a Bumper Harvest

• Choose a 10-12 inch pot with drainage holes; a medium-sized pot is ideal for chili plants.
• Prepare fertile soil: mix 50% garden soil, 25% cow dung manure, 25% sand/cocopeat, or 50% soil with 50% vermicompost.
• Select seeds from dried red chilies or buy from a nursery; sow 0.5 inch deep, 2-3 inches apart.
• Water lightly, keep soil moist, and ensure 5-6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth.
• Apply organic fertilizer every 10-15 days; use buttermilk or neem oil for pest control and support larger plants with a stick.
