Growing hot green chilli peppers in containers / pots are so easy and productive. Good soil is the key to productive pepper plants. Arrange best quality potting mix that is well drained and loose, or make your own. It must be rich in organic matter and fertile. For this, you can add well-rotted manure or compost into it at the time of planting. It’s also a good idea to mix 5-10 gm of neem cake at the time of soil preparation; it will protect the young plants from soil-borne diseases and pests. Keep the soil slightly moist constantly and never allow the plant to dry out completely. Also, avoid overhead watering as this may lead to wet foliage, which can cause fungal infections. At the time, when flowers start to appear and fruits begin to form reduce the watering a little. But be careful, drying out of soil completely results in flower drop Growing hot peppers in containers require support especially if you’re keeping your plant in a windy spot. Simply poke a stick near the main stem and tie the plant to it
