How to care for an Extra Hot Chili grow kit
The success of your Extra Hot Chili grow kit starts with the right location and attention to detail. These chilies are ideal for beginners, just like buying the ZZ plant or the pancake plant. The plants develop optimally in a sunny kitchen or on a bright windowsill. Keep the potting soil slightly moist, but avoid waterlogging. Follow our step-by-step tips and, for more inspiration, also see the Aglaonema care guide .
Watering Extra Hot Chili Grow Kit
Water your Extra Hot Chili grow set consistently, without letting the plant sit in wet potting soil for extended periods. Check the moisture weekly by inserting your finger a few inches into the soil. Let the top layer dry slightly before watering again. Overwatering can cause root rot, a problem you can also read about in our blog post about root rot in houseplants .
Light Extra Hot Chili grow set
Place your Extra Hot Chili grow kit in a location with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Sufficient light encourages abundant flowering and produces spicy fruits. Too little light will cause the stems to become lanky and the chilies will often rest against the soil. In winter, consider supplemental lighting or place the kit closer to a window.
Is the Extra Hot Chili grow kit poisonous?
The fruits from the Extra Hot Chili grow set are certainly edible, but they are spicy. The plant is not highly toxic to children or pets, but the heat of the chilies can cause irritation upon contact or ingestion. Prefer a completely harmless plant? Check out our non-toxic houseplants .
Various types of peppers in the Capsicum family
Chilies belong to the Capsicum family, with countless varieties for all levels of heat and flavor. Some popular varieties include:
- Jalapeño (Capsicum annuum)
- Habanero (Capsicum chinense)
- Cayenne pepper (Capsicum annuum)
- Bird's Eye Chili (Capsicum frutescens)
- Carolina Reaper (Capsicum chinense)
- Scotch Bonnet (Capsicum chinense)
- Serrano (Capsicum annuum)
Common problems and solutions
Yellow leaves
Yellow leaves are often caused by insufficient feeding or irregular watering. Add a balanced organic fertilizer according to the instructions. Also check the drainage: soil that is too wet can damage the roots. For more tips, read our article on caring for plants in winter .
Plant drips
If your chili is dripping (gutted), you'll see small droplets on the leaf edges during high humidity or cold nights. This is normal and no cause for alarm. Place the plant in a location with more stable temperatures. Reduce the humidity slightly by keeping it away from consistently wet surfaces.
Plagues
Spider mites, aphids, or thrips can occur on young chili plants. Rinse the leaves regularly with lukewarm water or use a natural sprayer like our jungle mist spray . Sticky traps, such as fungus gnat traps, are also helpful.
Carrots coming out of a pot
When the roots grow out of the bottom of the pot, it's time to repot. Choose a pot one size larger from our potting soil and accessories collection. Immediately change the top layer of potting soil and check the roots for signs of overgrowth.
Brown edges on leaves
Brown edges can indicate insufficient water, dry air, or too much direct sunlight. Check watering and increase humidity with a plant mister like our plant sprayer . If necessary, place the chili slightly less in the bright midday sun.
With the Extra Hot Chili grow kit, you can easily create a fiery eye-catcher in your kitchen or on your balcony. Combine it with other beginner-friendly plants like yucca or monstera minima for a vibrant, green mix. Order today and experience the joy of homegrown chilies. You'll receive the kit quickly, including our lifetime support. Success guaranteed!
