Process :
1. Find the best location for planting. Chilies are heat-loving plants, and are the most successfully grown in areas that have plenty of sun.
2. Amend your soil. The soil in your garden may need to be altered slightly in order to produce the biggest, healthiest, and heartiest crop of chilies.
3. Water the seeds. Seeds will need to be watered on a daily basis, so that the soil is kept moist at all times.
4. Incorporate compost and potassium fertilizer into the soil on a monthly basis to keep the nutrient levels high.

Do's
1. Plant on a sunny day in the late morning or early afternoon when it’s not too hot, so as to avoid transplant shock.
2. After the first planting, give the chilies a bit of extra water to avoid transplant shock.
3. Apply good fertiliser for food growth during season.
4. Water regularly but with intervals to avoid water retension in roots.
Don'ts
1. Don’t tamp or press down on the soil too much when you’re finished, as the chilies will grow better in loose, well-draining soil.
2. Avoid soaking wet soil.
