Growing peppers from seeds is fun and easy! Sow the seeds in a warm, stable spot, then place the germinated seeds in light compost to grow into seedlings. Carefully transfer the seedlings to a small pot, keep them warm and water them. Repot again when the plant is older or plant it in the ground when the weather is warm enough. Don’t forget to occasionally pick peppers to spice up your meals!
Steps
Sowing chili seeds

Place the peppers between 2 layers of damp paper towels. Wet 2 paper towels. Spread the chili seeds on one sheet of paper towel and cover the other, then place in a zippered plastic bag or plastic container and seal. [1] X Research Source

Leave the seeds in a warm place for 2-5 days. In general, chili seeds need temperature conditions in the range of 23-30 degrees Celsius to germinate. Place the bag of chili seeds in a place with steady warmth (such as on a heating pad) for about 2-5 days until the seeds hatch or germinate. Make sure the temperature is not so hot that it softens the plastic bag containing the seeds inside. [2] X Research Source
- Sprouting the seeds before planting in the ground or compost is to increase the chances of successful seedling.
- In warmer climates, you can plant seeds outdoors for germination, as long as the temperature doesn’t drop below 15 degrees Celsius . [3] X Source of Research

Pour soil into the seedling tray. Fill the pot with potting soil or compost to the top of a wide tray or nursery tray with multiple cells. Break up large chunks of soil. Press the ground to flatten 1-2 mm and water. [4] X Research Sources
- Water just before seeding, and then you will only water very little until the plants sprout.

Spread the seeds and cover with soil. Spread the pepper seeds on the ground one by one, spaced 5 cm apart. Apply a thin layer of soil on top. Lightly press the soil and use a spray bottle to spray water on the ground. [5] X Research Sources

Cover the tray and wait for the plants to sprout. Cover the mouth of the tray with food wrap to retain heat and moisture. Place the tray where you planted the seeds earlier. If you want, you can purchase electric heated mats or nursery trays (available at gardening stores) to help maintain a steady temperature for your seedlings. [6] X Research Sources

Follow the seedling. Keep an eye on the nursery tray to monitor germination and ensure soil quality. The nursery soil should be moist but not wet. You should not water unless the soil is too dry. The plant will sprout after about 2 weeks. [7] X Research Sources
Planting seedlings in pots
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/2d/Grow-a-Chilli-Plant-from-a-Seed-Step-7-Version-4.jpg/v4- 728px-Grow-a-Chilli-Plant-from-a-Seed-Step-7-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/2d/ Grow-a-Chilli-Plant-from-a-Seed-Step-7-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-a-Chilli-Plant-from-a-Seed-Step-7-Version-4. jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Remove the seedling from the tray. When the seedlings are 5 cm tall and have 5-6 leaves, you need to move the plant to a more spacious place so that the roots are not constrained. Gently lift the seedlings out of the tray, trying to touch the roots as little as possible. [8] X Research Sources
- Water the seedling before lifting it out so that the soil doesn’t fall apart during the move.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f1/Grow-a-Chilli-Plant-from-a-Seed-Step-8-Version-4.jpg/v4- 728px-Grow-a-Chilli-Plant-from-a-Seed-Step-8-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f1/ Grow-a-Chilli-Plant-from-a-Seed-Step-8-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-a-Chilli-Plant-from-a-Seed-Step-8-Version-4. jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Plant each seedling in a pot. Fill the pot with soil about 7 cm in diameter. Water the soil moist and dig a hole in the center of the pot. Gently place the seedling in the hole and fill it with soil. [9] X Research Source
- If you live in a cold climate, grow your chili plants in pots and keep them indoors. Place the plant under a grow light in a warm room.
- You can move the plant from the pot to the garden when the weather and soil are warm enough.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e1/Grow-a-Chilli-Plant-from-a-Seed-Step-9-Version-4.jpg/v4- 728px-Grow-a-Chilli-Plant-from-a-Seed-Step-9-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e1/ Grow-a-Chilli-Plant-from-a-Seed-Step-9-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-a-Chilli-Plant-from-a-Seed-Step-9-Version-4. jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Repot the plant with a larger pot if needed. When the chili plant grows, you should move the plant to another larger pot. Fill the new pot with soil, then dig a hole in the middle. Gently dig the plant with a large potting soil around it to protect the roots and place it in a new pot. [10] X Research Source
- If you want the chili plant to maintain a small size, keep the plant in a small pot to make it grow more slowly.
- The size of the potted plants increased from 7 cm to 15 cm, and finally the pot was 20 cm in diameter.

Make sure the plant has enough light and moisture. Place the potted chili plant near a window or outside to let the plant get some sunlight, but remember to bring it indoors if the temperature drops. The amount of light a plant receives will affect the growth rate and size of the plant. [11] X Research Source
- If you grow chili indoors with little natural light, you can buy a mini greenhouse or grow lights (available online or at gardening centers).
Plant pepper plants in the garden
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/bb/Grow-a-Chilli-Plant-from-a-Seed-Step-11-Version-3.jpg/v4- 728px-Grow-a-Chilli-Plant-from-a-Seed-Step-11-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/bb/ Grow-a-Chilli-Plant-from-a-Seed-Step-11-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-a-Chilli-Plant-from-a-Seed-Step-11-Version-3. jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Plant peppers. Find a patch of soil in your garden that gets at least 6-8 hours of sun a day and dig a hole large enough for the plants. Use a garden pitchfork to dig up some soil at the bottom of the hole and add a handful of compost. Gently place the plant in, filling the soil and compost mixture around the plant. [12] X Research Source
- Plant pepper plants at least 45cm away from other plants so they have enough space to grow.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9b/Grow-a-Chilli-Plant-from-a-Seed-Step-12-Version-3.jpg/v4- 728px-Grow-a-Chilli-Plant-from-a-Seed-Step-12-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/9b/ Grow-a-Chilli-Plant-from-a-Seed-Step-12-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-a-Chilli-Plant-from-a-Seed-Step-12-Version-3. jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Water and fertilize the plant regularly. In hot climates, you should water your pepper plants daily to keep them hydrated. Avoid over-watering, only water so that the soil is moist but not soggy. Fertilize the plants with a liquid synthetic fertilizer (available at gardening centers) every 2 weeks. [13] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e8/Grow-a-Chilli-Plant-from-a-Seed-Step-13-Version-3.jpg/v4- 728px-Grow-a-Chilli-Plant-from-a-Seed-Step-13-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e8/ Grow-a-Chilli-Plant-from-a-Seed-Step-13-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-a-Chilli-Plant-from-a-Seed-Step-13-Version-3. jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Keep plants warm. You should only plant chili plants outdoors in areas with warm climates year-round or areas with long summers. In the second case, it is best to plant the tree in June. Buy felt or glass planter cages (arched cages that hang above the tree and stick it in the ground around the tree) to shield the plant from unusually cold weather. [14] X Research Source
Advice
- Pick peppers regularly to keep the plant fruiting and prevent the tree from falling because of the weight of the fruit.
- Put up stakes for the tree as soon as the tree begins to fall to prevent the tree from falling.
- Before planting the tree in the garden, you should train the tree to get used to the environment by leaving it outside for a few hours a day for about 2 weeks. [15] X Research Source
