Growing Guide (South Africa):

• When to Sow: Start indoors in late July–August using seed trays or small pots; then transplant seedlings outdoors in late August–September once frost risk is past.

• Climate & Location: Full sun, sheltered from cold and wind. Ideal soil temperature 18–35 °C.

• Soil & Prep: Rich, well-drained loamy soil supplemented with compost and perlite (about 1/3) for good aeration .

• Spacing & Care: Plant seedlings ~40–50 cm apart. Use drip irrigation or weekly watering (30–40 mm/week) to maintain moist but not waterlogged soil.

• Fertilising: Apply balanced pre-plant fertilizer (2:3:4 mix) and side-dress with nitrogen-rich feed after flower set; switch to high P/K during fruiting.

• Harvest Time: Chilies can be harvested green after 9–11 weeks, or left to ripen for increased heat and colour.

• Tips: Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Begin seeds in a heated propagator or use a heat pad for even germination . Pinch or top plants to encourage branching and more fruit.
