Step-by-Step Guide to Growing Chilies
Starting Seeds Indoors:
Start your chili seeds indoors about 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Use small pots filled with a moist, well-draining potting mix.
Place the seeds just below the surface of the soil and keep them in a warm, sunny spot. A temperature of around 70-80°F (21-27°C) is ideal for germination.
Transplanting Seedlings:
Once the seedlings have developed a few sets of true leaves and the outside temperature is consistently above 50°F (10°C) at night, they’re ready to be moved outdoors.
