This long red chilli type is grown for its slender hot fruits that may reach approximately 7–8 inches under suitable growing conditions.
The fruits generally develop green first and turn red at maturity. They can be harvested green for fresh use or left on the plant to fully ripen for red chilli use, drying or grinding.
Exact fruit length, heat level and maturity can vary depending on seed lot and growing conditions.
Red Chilli can be used in:
Use according to your preferred heat level.
G-11 Grow Bag – 11 × 10 inch
Suitable for one compact chilli plant.
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 development.
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

0.5–1 cm deep
Cover lightly with fine soil.

Use a fine mist or gentle shower.
Keep the growing medium evenly moist during germination.

7–14 days
under suitable conditions.

4–6 true leaves
Suitable final locations include raised beds, pots and GREEN GARDENS grow bags.

Maintain approximately:
35–45 cm between plants
where adequate space is available.
9. Watering

Water when the upper soil 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
Fruit-loaded branches may benefit from a bamboo stake or soft support.
Tie stems loosely to avoid damage.

Leave fruits on the plant if a fully mature red colour is desired.
