Step 3: Transplant the Seedlings
Once seedlings develop several true leaves and outdoor temperatures are suitable, gradually harden them off before transplanting. Choose a sunny garden location with fertile, well-drained soil. Space plants approximately 18–24 inches apart to allow proper growth.

Step 4: Water and Care for the Plants
Provide at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, particularly during flowering and fruit development. Apply organic mulch to help retain moisture and control weeds. Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilizer, which can encourage leafy growth at the expense of fruit production.

Step 5: Harvest Fresh Hatch Chillies
Harvest the peppers when they reach their characteristic elongated size and develop a healthy green color. For a sweeter, fully ripened flavour, allow the pods to turn red on the plant. Use fresh chillies for roasting, stuffing, sauces, salsas, and other delicious recipes.
