How to Grow
Start Thai Hot chilli seeds indoors from January to April in a warm, well-lit environment to ensure reliable germination. Once seedlings grow strong enough, pot them on into 25 cm containers and move them outdoors after the last frost has passed, ideal for window boxes or balconies.
Sowing
Sow the Thai Hot chilli seeds indoors during the late winter to early spring months, as this longer growing season supports their development. Maintaining warmth and light during germination is crucial for healthy seedlings.
Growing
Pot on seedlings as they develop to accommodate their eventual height of 0.5 m and spread of 0.3 m. Growing these chillies in full sun with good drainage encourages robust growth, making them well-suited to containers or garden beds.
Plant care
Water regularly to keep the soil moist but well-drained, especially during the active growing months from May to October. Pinch early growth to promote a bushier plant and feed lightly once flowering begins to support heavy fruiting. Harvest chillies regularly to encourage continued cropping and protect plants from cold by moving containers indoors if frost threatens.
