How to Grow Chillies from Seeds

Materials needed:

• Chillies seeds
• A seed tray or 10-cm pots
• Compost
• A plastic sheet or polythene

Steps:

1. Start your seeds off indoors. They need plenty of warmth to germinate.
2. Fill a seed tray or some 10-cm pots with moist seed compost and flatten down.
3. Sow a few seeds on top and cover with a fine sprinkling of compost.
4. Use a plastic sheet or polythene to cover your seed trays and pop them on a sunny windowsill.
5. Wait for 7-10 days for germination, after which you can move your seedlings to a warm, sunny windowsill.
6. Keep the compost evenly moist but take care not to let it get soaking wet.
7. When your chilli seedlings are big enough to handle without breaking, gently transplant them from seed trays into individual pots.
