5 easy steps to grow Carolina reaper, grow your own chillies (5 March 23)

5 easy steps to grow Carolina reaper pepper

step 1 - sow seeds in 3x3 inch plastic pot

step 2 - when they have 2-3 true leaves transplant them to individual pots.

step 3 - pruning or topping
             cut the top of chilli plants. This will help to produce more side shoots. The plants will be more bushy and eventually produce more chillies.

step 4 planting
            plant your chilli plants in 12 x12 inch containers

soil mix :
- garden soil
- garden compost
- multi purpose compost
- slow released fertilizer or fertilizer of your choice


step 5 feeding
            When they produce flowers and young chillies, I feed them every 2 weeks  with tomato food and seaweed extract.


*** If you live in cold climate, please grow them in the greenhouse. Place the containers at the sunniest place. They will give you lots of chillies with best flavour.


*** Don't worry if you have lots of chillies,  you can freeze them or dry them in the oven. You can make your own chilli powder, too.
