forgot to say when re potting handle by the leaves and not the stem or roots incase you damage them ;). Keep us informed of progress :)

I sowed mine in January and have harvested a load of lovely red, hot chillies already - bear in mind Im in Scotland!.  Just kept them on a sunny window sill.  Dont worry if they fail to fruit before winter - last year i put my plants outside to experience a couple of mild early October frosts.  Then brought them in and they were flowering by Christmas, and fruits ready for picking in April  8)

I would agree that you should put into individual pots, maybe keep out of direct strong sun until they get mature, and dont over-water.  I only water when the leaves start to wilt.  That is certainly the advice if you want hot chillies - meaner you treat them, hotter they get!
