Fatty Seeds – Chilli
Chilli is a popular fruiting vegetable known for its vibrant colours, distinctive spicy flavour and versatility in cooking. Commonly used in stir-fries, curries, sauces and other Asian dishes, it adds a delicious kick to everyday meals. Thriving in Singapore's warm tropical climate, Chilli is suitable for growing in pots or garden beds, making it a great addition to home vegetable gardens.
Planting Guidelines:
-
Sow the seeds in well-draining, nutrient-rich soil, approximately 0.5–1cm deep. Transplant the seedlings once they develop 4–5 true leaves, spacing the plants approximately 30–45cm apart to allow sufficient room for healthy growth.
-
Seeds typically germinate within 7–14 days, although some may take longer. The chillies can be ready for harvesting in approximately 105–135 days from sowing, depending on the variety and growing conditions. Harvest the fruits when they reach their desired size and colour. Regular harvesting helps encourage continued fruit production.
-
Chilli grows best in full sunlight, preferably receiving at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, especially during flowering and fruit development. Ensure good drainage and adequate airflow to promote healthy growth.
