The soil pH can vary from an acidic pH 4.3 to an alkali pH 8.7 Adjust soil pH to around 6.5 for best results. Improve the soil before planting with compost or manure & Compost, eggshells and peat moss. Use a balanced 15N-15P-15K fertiliser, where N = Nitrogen, P = Phosphorus and K = Potassium.
Chile peppers are sensitive to the cold and generally prefer to grow in a well-drained, sandy or silt-loam soil.

Peppers need at least 70 degrees F. to grow and set flowers. However at extreme temperatures, 90 degrees F. and over and under 60 degrees F., they will drop their blossoms until conditions are more favorable. They can handle most soils and a neutral pH. A sprinkling of Epson salts at planting seems to help fruit set, as does crowding the plants in their bed. http://gardening.about.com/od/vegetables/p/HotPeppers.htm

The amount of water your chili plants receive can also affect taste. Too much water and soggy conditions will impart a bitter flavor. Over-watering also risks root rot, a disease that can be deadly. The hotter the weather, the hotter your chili peppers will taste. The ideal night temperature for growing peppers is around sixty degrees Fahrenheit.

In general, the smaller the chile and hotter it is.The heat in most chiles is found in all parts of the chile but most of it is in the membranes around the seeds. The seeds themselves have a high amount of capsicum (the oil that causes the hot sensation) but the membrane generally contains the highest concentration of the capsicum.http://www.happynews.com/living/cooking/chili-pepper-garden.htm

Plants grown directly in soil will require 2-3 additional side-dressings of fertiliser (well-rotted animal manure goes down well; likewise fresh seaweed.) Mulch with seaweed, compost from bin, newspaper. Apply Epsom Salts as a foliar spray at fortnightly intervals; once every ten days once flowers form.
Container or grow-bag plants require a weekly feed with either seaweed extract or NPK fertiliser (15-15-15) and water as required. Control pests and treat with Epsom Salts
