Very easy indeed. Plant the seeds in a tray or pots and pop onto your windowsill. Water regularly and in about 8-10 weeks, loads of yummy chillis!
Peppers are good on the windowsill too.

It is actually very easy to grow hot chiliies at home. If you grow them outside, you want to make sure they get the most sunlight possible. This is the key to making your chillies hot. The more sun, the hotter! Another key factor is your soil. Before planting, you want to make sure you use fertilizer. I highly recommend mushroom fertilizer. When it comes to watering, as long as you keep your soil soggy, you will be in good shape. Usually watering every other day is fine.-----------If growing inside, it's the same process. Remember, always make sure they have some kind of lighting on them. Sunlight is always the best! Good luck!!

Easy and makes nice plant. Plant several seeds from a chili in compost in a flowerpot on a kitchen window ledge in about March. Simply water and watch. Pull out the weakest plant to leave one. Good luck.

Hi. I grew a Caribean blend (various seeds) of chillies in my green house this summer in England. Once germinated a grew them one to a six inch pot and then watered and fed them like tomatoes. I harvested about 2 kilos from six plants and put them in the freezer - and yes they are still hot when de-frosted.

We grew some pretty spicey red chili peppers this summer. Just make sure they get lots of sun and it is pretty simple. You can plant them right in the ground or in a pot on a deck or somewhere with lots of sun. We got more peppers last year then we knew what to do with them. Some of the red chilies were VERY spicey too.
I also found a link that might be helpful for you! Good luck!

Go to a garden centre and buy a chilli plant. I had one which grew good chillis, but as with all plants it took one look at me and withered and died. I probably forgot to water it. Please no plants for Christmas. I start off with good intentions!

If you live in the south, they do very well if planted in early spring. I am in Houston, and I grow jalapenos, ancho, bell peppers and tabasco peppers. They require almost no maintenance here other than a little water occasionally.

Depends on your climate. I live in the southwest and they grow ideal here. Jalapenos and Anaheim green chilies are my favorites. The longer you grow them before you pick them the hotter they will be. Make sure you don't overwater.

I find if u give them good soil to grow in,let them grow well then starve of water for a few days, they produce loads of fruit.

leave them on a windowsill at home and water them about once every 3 days
