Growing tips

Snack chilies are annual plants. However, with a little gardening skill, it is possible to overwinter the plants indoors at approx. 15 °C. Next April/May, small white flowers appear from which new chili pods grow independently. Snack chilies need lots of nutrients. They should be watered with liquid fertilizer every 3 weeks from April to September.
