🌱 How to Grow Cayenne Chillies in South Africa:

Planting Time:
Sow in late spring to midsummer (September to January) when temperatures are consistently warm. Ideal germination occurs at temperatures above 20°C.

Location:
Choose a sunny, sheltered spot in the garden or in pots. Chillies need at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily.

Soil Preparation:
Use well-draining, fertile soil enriched with compost or organic matter. Ideal pH is between 6.0 and 7.0.

Sowing Instructions:

• Start seeds in seed trays or directly into prepared beds.

• Sow 5 mm deep and keep moist during germination (7–14 days).

• Transplant seedlings when they have 4–6 true leaves, spacing 30–40 cm apart.

Watering & Care:

• Water regularly but avoid waterlogging.

• Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

• Feed monthly with a balanced fertilizer for strong growth and high yield.

Harvesting:

• Pick chillies when they turn bright red and are firm to the touch.

• Can be used fresh or dried for long-term storage.

Pests & Tips:
Watch for aphids and red spider mites. Use neem oil or companion planting with marigolds to deter pests.
