Chillies growing well!!But?

Usual advice is to pot on when you can see the roots through the holes in the bottom of the pot.

Also to bear in mind is the size of the full grown pepper, some stay in smallish pots all their lives and don't need a lot of feeding.

Chillies should be neither over-fed nor over-watered, although that doesn't mean you should neglect them completely!

When to start feeding will depend to some extent on how big a container you finally plant them in as obviously they will run out of food quicker in a small amount of compost.

I grew mine indoors in troughs on a windowsill and didn't start feeding them until they started setting fruit. Result: embarrassingly large plants (for indoors) and loads of chillies!

I was told treat em mean, keep em keen.

I've grown chillies for a few years now, with some great results: the "treat em mean, keep them keen" saying is ture, but only once they have flowered and the chillies are growing, as letting the pot dry out a good bit so that the plant becomes stressed apparently increases the amount of whatever the chemical is that causes the heat (cant remember the name now)

Chillies will often benefit from having a bit of a hand with pollenation too, especilly ones indoors, so when they do flower, get a little brush out and dab it into all the flowers, spreading the pollen.

Also, getting yourself some "chilli focus" liquid food or similar will help them no end, I swear my plants thrive on it despite being in deepest darkest scotland, so feed them on that a couple of time a month.

And best of luck, I love growing chillis (they were the only thing apart form cucumbers that when i lived in a flat, and Ive even managed to grow the hottest ones "bhut jolokia"...not that thye were that hot, but at least they grew)...enjpy it, Im obsessed, have five six types growing now and a plant that i have kept for two years now that is flowering yet again....magic!!!!

I noticed my chillis have a few roots sticking out the bottom of the pots they are in so will be replanted at the weekend..

Im just not sure when they can go into an unheated greenhouse! They are currently taking up valuable window sill space! 

Ideally not until its +10 at night.

and have been measuring in the last week... hasnt gone below 10 but tonight it now has  :blink: Will have to get them replanted them leave inside for another few weeks i think!

Warmer there than it is here- Its currently +1 in the greenhouse tonight.

Mine were still in 20cell modules until last night.

Its only when they're potted on to 3inch pots that I realise that yet again I've grown FAR FAR too many peppers again this year.
