Chillies are hard to grow in victoria so I suggest not trying to propagate them, use seedlings. Good quality SUPER hot chilli seedlings can be purchased at Masters.


Material

  • 1 Plastic pot
  • 1 Bag of potting mix
  • 1 Chilli seedling

Method

  1. Fill the plastic pot with potting mix
  2. Put your seedling in, covering all of the roots
  3. Pour a little more potting mix over the top

Notes

Plant seedlings in late spring for best results in Victoria, for the northern states plant early spring

  • Thankfully have had no problem growing chilli from seeds at our place. Was given one Birds eye chilli from the brother in law when we moved in and not only did that trigger my slight obsession for them (20 varieties later lol) I also am the only one in the family that has plants lasting and providing massive crops for over 7 years- also all seedlings that come up are still true to the parent plant, my brother in law on the other hand has had no such luck and now gets chilli from my crops :)
    Wishing plentiful crops and seasons, thanks for sharing.
