Desi Green Chilli is a traditional long-fruited chilli type grown for its slender green fruits and strong pungent flavour.
Under suitable growing conditions, fruits can reach approximately 7 inches in length, though final size may vary with seed lot, climate, nutrition and plant care.
Plants develop a branching habit and can continue flowering and fruiting over an extended period when regularly harvested.
Desi Green Chilli can be used in:
Fresh green chillies may be harvested according to the preferred size and heat level.
G-11 Grow Bag – 11 × 10 inch
Suitable for one compact chilli plant with regular watering and feeding.
G-12 Grow Bag – 12 × 12 inch
Recommended for one established plant with additional root space.
G-24 Grow Bag – 24 × 12 inch
Suitable for several plants when adequate spacing is maintained.
Avoid overcrowding, as good airflow supports healthier flowering and fruit production.
Use:
50% Vermicompost + 50% Bhalu Mitti (Sandy Soil)
Mix thoroughly before sowing or transplanting.
The growing medium should be:
Avoid permanently soggy soil around the roots.
1. Prepare the Growing Medium
Mix 50% Vermicompost + 50% Bhalu Mitti thoroughly and prepare a fine, loose seed-starting surface.
2. Sow the Seeds
Sow approximately:
0.5–1 cm deep
Cover lightly with fine soil.
3. Water Gently
Use a fine mist or gentle shower.
Keep the growing medium evenly moist during germination.
4. Germination
Seeds generally germinate within:
7–14 days
under suitable conditions.
5. Light Requirements
Once established, provide approximately 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
6. Thin the Seedlings
Remove weak and overcrowded seedlings once several true leaves develop.
7. Transplanting
Transplant when seedlings are sturdy and have approximately:
4–6 true leaves
Suitable final locations include raised beds, pots and GREEN GARDENS grow bags.
8. Plant Spacing
Maintain approximately:
35–45 cm between plants
where adequate space is available.
9. Watering
Maintain relatively even soil moisture.
Water when the upper layer begins to dry while allowing excess water to drain freely.
Avoid severe drying followed by heavy watering.
10. Feeding
The recommended soil mix already contains Vermicompost.
Additional GREEN GARDENS Vermicompost may be applied lightly around established plants when required.
Avoid excessive nitrogen feeding after flowering begins.
11. Plant Support
Long-fruited chilli plants may benefit from a bamboo stake or soft support once branches become fruit-loaded.

Small flowers develop into long, slim green chillies.
Maintain regular moisture and good sunlight during fruit development.
