What type of chillies do you plan to grow? If you have a picture of the seed packet that would be great. Secondly, chillies do best in full sunlight. Do you get enough sunlight? I am afraid of styrofoam because it can easily cause water logging leading to root rot.Madiha Humbal wrote:HELLO THERE. i am also plnning on planting chillies in my house. i live in karachi and do not have enough space for a garden bed. do you think i can grow chillies in a container. also how many seeds should i sow in those small pots before i can transfer them to larger pots. and can i use styrofoam glassess with holes at the bottom for propper drainage to act as nusery pots for germination of seeds. do you have to cover the pots to protect them from birds and mice etc.
PLEASE REPLY. I AM A NEWBIE AND IN NEED OF HELP WITH SOOOO MANY SEEDS
Fahad u have to sow seeds in well porous, loamy soil and not in compact or hard soil. Dont sow seed deeply in the soil. Chilli seeds are small and thin. after spreading seeds on the soil, just put light soil or compost like cocoa peat. if u sow deeply in the soil they will never sprout out.Ali Fahad wrote:i have also set out seeds a couple of times but they dont germinate. i have taken seeds from a nursery. i have seeds now and also have planted some but two weeks a nd still no sign plaese help
