Chilli Kundu is best cultivated in well-drained fertile soil. Garden soil mixed with compost or manure provides it with that extra dose of nutrients. Loose soil and not soggy. Optimum pH of 6.0-7.5.

Fill the small pots or seed trays with soil. Plant the seeds 1 cm deep and cover them with a thin layer of soil. Water the soil lightly to moisten it. Do not overwater, as this will rot the seeds. Haemanthus Albiflos grows in the same weather conditions.

Chilli Kundu seeds must be germinated in warmth. Place them in a warm location with 20-30°C temperatures. In bad weather, cover the pots with plastic wrap or place them under a grow light. The seeds will germinate typically in 7-10 days.

When the seedlings are 3-4 leaves, transplant them. Choose a sunny area in your garden or a large pot. Plant the seeds 30 cm apart so they will not smother each other when they mature. Transplant them and water them to calm them down.

Water the plants regularly but not waterlogged. Chilli Kundu likes wet but not damp soil. Give organic fertilizer or compost at an interval of 2-3 weeks to ensure healthy growth.

Pest-check the plants for whiteflies and aphids. If present, treat them with neem oil or mild soap water. Sterilize the soil to prevent fungal infection.

Chilli Kundu will ripen in 70-90 days. Chilies turn red once they ripen. Pinch them anytime you want. Cut the chilies using scissors without harming the plant.

It is so simple to grow Chilli Kundu from seeds if you want to read this. Appreciate homegrown chilies being used in the kitchen with care and patience. Enjoy gardening!
