Unwins Homegrown Chilli Growing Kit

A compact, dwarf variety that is perfect for windowsill growing. This chilli plant produces upwards facing fruits, that are excellent for cooking to add hot and spicy flavour. 30,000-50,000 Scoville Units.

The longer you let your chillies mature, the hotter they will be. Your fresh chillies can be added straight into your favourite recipes. Any extras can be hung up using twine, or frozen, and then used at another time. The white flesh holding the seeds is the hottest part of a chilli, so remember to remove this if you prefer a milder taste.

1. Place the compost discs in a bowl and slowly add water. The discs will absorb the water and expand. Leave for 5 minutes, then pour away any excess water. 2. Fill plant pot with compost and firm down. Wet compost thoroughly and allow to drain. 3. Plant 3 seeds 0.5cm below soil surface in triangle pattern towards the centre of the pot. Place pot into wooden cube. 4. Cover the pot with cling film to keep humidity high. Place the cube on a warm windowsill, periodically checking compost is moist. 5. Once seedlings have germinated, remove cling film and allow seedlings to grow to approx. 2cm. Select the strongest seedlings to keep, and carefully prick out the others. 6. Remember to keep your chilli watered and compost moist. Once your plant has grown and started to produce flowers, feed with Big Tom tomato feed to boost your crop!
