Water your chilli plants regularly throughout the growing season, and once the first fruits have set, feed them weekly with a high potash tomato fertiliser. Also remember to: Pinch out the growing tip of the first flowering shoots to promote more branching and a better harvest. Water regularly but sparingly.From sowing, chilli plants vary from about 80 to 120 days to fruit being ready. If you are using the unripe (green) fruit, this range will be reduced.
