The Grow Your Own Chilli Plants Gift Box enables you to grow five different types of chilli plants, including one of the worlds hottest varieties, in your own home. Chillis can be grown as ornamental decorative plants, and for their fruits, which can then be harvested when green, for some cuisines. You can also leave them to ripen, mainly to red but some will turn orange, yellow or even chocolate brown depending on variety, this usually takes about another 2 to 3 weeks. Chillis will grow in similar conditions to tomatoes, however better results are achieved in higher temperatures and humidity. A better crop will be achieved by growing under glass, although they can be cultivated outdoors in sheltered sites with plenty of sun. Plan to grow your plants to give them a long season to ensure ripe fruits before autumn. Sow in early Spring with a heated propagator, transplanting when all signs of the last frost has gone. Alternatively grow them on the kitchen window, and then move to the garden when the better weather arrives.
