1. Cut open a fresh chili pepper and take out the seeds inside. When you do this, it is best not to touch them directly with your fingers; hands that have touched chili seeds will feel very spicy.
2. Put the chili seeds on the balcony to dry until they become dry chili seeds.
3. Now is exactly the good time to plant chili peppers. Scatter the dried seeds casually around the edge of the flower pot.
4. After scattering the seeds, you can scatter a thin layer of soil over them, then water thoroughly.
5. The chili peppers will sprout quickly. When they grow to 4 or 5 leaves, you can thin them out. Remove the weak seedlings and keep only the strong ones.
6. After the seedlings grow taller, you can transplant them separately into flower pots. Just after repotting, water the chili peppers once, then place them in a semi-shaded spot for 2~3 days to let them recover, and after that you can put them in the sun for normal care!
How do you make chili peppers bear more?

1. Before planting chili peppers, it is best to use some base fertilizer, such as well-rotted pigeon manure, chicken manure, and so on. Scatter a layer on the bottom of the pot, and it will make the chili peppers grow very fast!
2. When the chili peppers grow to about 15~20 cm, pinch off the tender buds at the top. This will let the chili pepper seedlings grow side branches. When the side branches grow to about 10 cm, pinch them again. This will greatly increase the chili pepper yield.
3. If you want the chili peppers to bear more, you cannot do without sufficient fertilizer. After the chili peppers bloom, use organic fertilizer once every 7~10 days. For example, self-fermented fish intestine fertilizer, rice washing water, and so on all work.
4. Besides fertilizing, you also need to put the chili peppers in the sunniest place at home. The more sun they get, the faster the chili peppers grow and the more they bear.
5. One pot of chili peppers can bear dozens of chili peppers, which is enough for everyday cooking at home. When cooking, pick them fresh, and they are extremely fresh!
