How to Grow
Start Chilli 'Little Bomb' seeds indoors from January to April in a warm environment, as they prefer consistent warmth to germinate successfully. Once seedlings are established and frost risk has passed, they can be moved to a sunny spot outdoors or grown in containers such as window boxes or balconies.
Sowing
Sow the seeds thinly into seed compost between January and April, covering lightly and maintaining a temperature of 18–22°C to encourage germination within 10–21 days. Avoid direct outdoor sowing since these chillies require warmth to establish well.
Growing
Grow the plants in a sunny, sheltered position such as a windowsill, greenhouse, or patio, providing support as fruits develop due to their 0.7m height and 0.3m spread. Use pots around 25cm in size to accommodate their growth and pinch out growing tips at 15–20cm to promote bushier plants.
Plant care
Water Chilli 'Little Bomb' regularly but avoid waterlogging to keep the soil moist throughout the growing season from May to October. Feed the plants every 1–2 weeks with a balanced liquid fertiliser once flowering begins, and harvest chillies frequently to encourage continuous fruiting. Protect the plants from cold nights and strong winds to maintain healthy growth.
