They will germinate in about 1 week. Water them every alternate day and make sure they are not exposed to harsh winds or strong sun.

Once the plant grows big enough it will start flowering. Small white flowers will bloom. They'll eventually fall off within 7-10 days.

 

 

Once the flower falls off a small baby chilli will start growing in its place.

 

Keep watering and nourishing the plant and this chilli will grow bigger and bigger.

 

Once the chilli is about 5-7 cms long you can pluck it to cook with it. However, If you want it to be spicier you can leave it on the plant itself.
