![]() Chilies will thrive when their soil is moist, but not soaking wet. Don't tamp or press down on the soil too much when you're finished, as the chilies will grow better in loose, well-draining soil. Replace the soil over the top of each, so that only about ½ inch of soil is on top of the roots or seeds. Place each chili plant or seed into the holes you've dug. Research the chilies you're growing to find out the perfect spacing conditions for your plant. These should be spaced about 1 foot (0.3 m) apart, but depending on the type of chili you're planting the spacing may need to be greater. Dig small holes slightly larger than your seed or root ball using a garden trowel. Chilies should be planted individually to avoid crowding, even if you are planting seeds directly outdoors. Plant on a sunny day in the late morning or early afternoon when it's not too hot, so as to avoid transplant shock. Wait to plant outdoors until after the last frost of the spring, typically around March or April depending on your local weather. At this point, they can handle being planted outside without fear of shock. Start at only 2 hours a day for about a week, and then add one hour to each additional day they are placed outdoors until they can stand being outside for a full 24 hours. Harden them off by placing their pots or trays outdoors for a few hours every day. Seeds that are grown indoors are used to a constant temperature with little fluctuation when they are introduced into the wild, they can experience a bit of shock from the varying temperatures, moisture levels, and changing sunlight. You can continue waiting for them to grow and for the heat outdoors to rise, or you can plant them as is when their true leaves come in. After a bit, a second pair of leaves will sprout these are known as the true leaves? and signals that the chilies are ready for transplanting. The seeds will sprout a pair of leaves to start, known as ?seed leaves?. It will take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks for the seeds to first sprout. Just be careful the seeds are neither too hot nor too cold, as both will result in little to no growth. If not, place your seeds in a location that gets plenty of sunlight, like a south facing window, and lots of heat, like near a radiator. If you've planted seeds before, you may have a heat lamp on hand heat lamps are perfect for aiding your seeds in growing quickly. Place them in a location with heat and sunlight. ![]() Give seeds the biggest water after first planting, and then continue adding about a teaspoon of water daily after that. Seeds will need to be watered on a daily basis, so that the soil is kept moist at all times. Then, place a single seed about ½ an inch below the surface of the soil in each container. Fill each small tray or container with your soil (already amended with fertilizer and compost). You can purchase seed trays for your seedlings, or you can simply use individual planting pots for each seed. ![]() If you want a bit more help in speeding up the germination process, soak the seeds in room temperature chamomile tea instead of plain water. Wait to plant them until they have dried completely, typically after 10-12 hours. Allow them to soak for a full 24 hours, and then strain them from the water and lay them out to dry. Fill a bowl with lukewarm water, and place the seeds inside the bowl. To help make the coating of the seed easier for the new growth to penetrate, you can soak the seeds to soften them up.
