Looking After a Chilli Plant

Chilli plants can grow well in the UK, as long as they are in a warm sunny place. This usually means growing them indoors, in a window that is south facing and gets a lot of sunlight. If provided with the right conditions, a chilli plant can grow lots of chillies for you, and grow into an attractive plant as well.
Chilli plants will often grow chillies later on in the year, around November time. This would be when it is warmest where they originate from, and so they begin to flower. These flowers will often grow into chillies, so do not pick them off – they also look very pretty as an added bonus.
You will need to water your chilli plant regularly, usually once a day. Use a houseplant fertiliser to help keep the plant looking green and healthy. You may want to trim some branches back every now and again to keep the plant growing into a bushy shape.
