An essential food item in every cuisine, green chilli is a rich source of vital nutrients. It has 7 times the vitamin C level of an orange. It also provides a host of medicinal benefits including fighting sinusitis, aiding digestion, and relief for migraine and muscle pain. Other beneficial nutrients present in chilli includes Vitamin A, Vitamin E, beta-carotene, folic acid, and potassium. However, going to the shop to buy green chillies every time can be a pretty tedious task. So, why not grow chilli at home? It is completely possible, and you don’t need a lot of space for it. You can grow them in a pot or planter box, in your terrace garden or your backyard garden. Planting Guide: Chilli is a tropical/sub-tropical plant that grows well in warm and humid conditions. For summer crops, the seeds are sown in January, and for kharif crops, the best time for sowing is from May to June. The seeds take about 5-10 days for germination. The plants will be ready for green harvesting within 90-100 days of sowing. While you can get a good harvest for your chilli crops, there are some pests and diseases that you need to be on guard against, such as fruit borer, thrips, aphids, yellow muranai mite, damping off, leaf spot, powdery mildew, dieback, fruit rot, anthracnose, and chilli mosaic. You can also buy natural pest control remedies or plant maintenance kits to protect your crops effectively. If you have any doubts regarding the seeds or any aspect of planting them, just mail us.
