Chili Harvest

28.08.2015

Chilis are ripe and have a great flavour as soon as they have the right color - the final color differs and depends on what kind of chili you grow. Find out more about the optimal color and the peak ripeness on the packaging of your chili seeds. In any case, green chilis are never ripe. A few types of chilis need some time until they have reached the right degree of ripeness for the harvest. So don´t worry if your plant should carry green fruits for a longer period of time. Harvest ripe fruits directly so that your plant can bring forth a high yield.

Chili Harvest

If you cannot harvest all fruits before temperatures decrease in autumn you can keep the chilis a few more weeks indoors for further harvesting. Overwintering of your plants is in general possible as long as the room temperature doesn´t drop below 10 degrees. If you have a fast growing chili variety it is possible to have a second harvest during the same season if you crop the plant directly after the first harvest. If you do so, you should take care to not remove the siteshoots of the plant.

With these tips you will be able to harvest delicious chilis without much effort. Of course, the requirements may vary for each plant depending on the type of chili. Your harvesting success will increase with time as you will find out optimal requirements and test different locations for your chili plant. We wish you success and a lot of fun with your chili plants.
