Water Needs: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Regular watering is essential, especially during flowering and fruiting stages.
Sunlight Needs: Full sun (6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily).
Time to Germinate: 10-20 days.
Seed Soaking: Soak seeds overnight. For better results, pre-germinate by placing soaked seeds in a paper towel inside a ziplock bag until they start to sprout, as chili seeds can take longer to germinate.
Tray/Pot Recommendations: Start seeds in seed trays or small pots. Transplant seedlings to the garden when they have 3-4 true leaves and are strong enough to handle.
Space Requirements: Space plants 30-50 centimeters apart to allow for proper growth and airflow.
Temperature Requirements: Optimal growing temperatures range from 20-30°C.
Best Growing Season: Chilis can be grown year-round in Thailand.
Time to Harvest: 60-90 days from planting.
