How to grow chili at home?
- Prepare pots and fill with planting media
Make sure the pot is hollow, this hole is needed for the drainage system so that water can get out of the pot to prevent spoilage. Fill the pot with the planting medium to the limit of 5 - 10 cm from the lips of the pot. - Spread chili seeds
Use large pots for optimal growth
Then spread the chilli seedlings on top of the planting medium with a distance of 5-10 cm for optimal growth. Sprinkle the thin media planted on the seedlings.
- Flush with clean water
Flush the chilli seedlings with clean water using plant spray so that the seeds do not change position. Do watering twice a day in the morning and evening to keep moisture. - Keep the pot from direct sunlight
Move pot to shade, avoid direct sunlight. Cover with wet or plastic jute sack if needed to keep moisture. Humidity is needed in this early growth process. - Separate the plant seeds
After the fourth day, the leaves will begin to grow. You can move the seeds into other pots. Be careful when transferring these chili plants, do not damage the roots, move also some of the planting media into a new pot that has been filled with the media planting up to 3/4 full. Then place the plant and add more soil around it. Flush a day 2 using sprays, in the morning and evening.
