  1. Thank you very much for this excellent article! I have learned a lot and enjoyed reading it.
    I will know what to do with my two chili plants (tree and serrano) now that the temperatures begin to drop here in Seville! Thank you

    1. A pleasure to be able to contribute to a good cause 😄 Having some chilito plants at home is of great importance, in my opinion. Even more so in Europe where they are not always at hand. I wish you success and a good harvest.

  2. Hi, I'm Martha from Mexico. I live in a town with a cold and dry climate. I planted xalapeño peppers, habanero peppers, and yellow or wax peppers, as we know it in the region, I planted them at the end of February, they are barely bearing fruit. obviously the jalapeño its size is smaller than the original. but the truth is I am very happy with the result. since it is the first time that I do it. I read your article and your advice has been very helpful. I will put them into practice, thank you very much for everything

    1. Hello Martha. I am glad that your chilitos are growing and bearing fruit! I think that it is not that difficult to grow chili peppers in Mexico and to achieve a good result, however, the country is large and the climate, elevation, humidity and all the factors necessary for your spicy babies to be successful, are very varied. Here, between us, I am of the opinion that a lot has to do with the hand of the sower. Congratulations!

    1. Hello Rodrigo! Thanks for your question. After obtaining the harvest that your plant has given you, you do not need to remove it from the pot or give it to the ground. However, it is advisable that at the end of winter, you clean and remove the soil, as well as prune your tree so that new leaves can sprout in late spring. Chili plants can live for several years, it depends a lot on the species that is planted. The years that a chili plant can live is from 4 to 15, with the first 3 of its life being the most productive. I wish you a bountiful harvest 😃

  3. Hello, autumn begins today here in Mexico (SLP) with dry semi-desert climate. For now 12-24 degrees. It will be the first time I have tried to plant chili peppers. Any recommendation? Would it be better to wait for the winter to pass? Thanks

    1. Hello Haydeé, how good to have you here! Considering that the best temperature for germination is around 18 ° and for sowing, 24 °, I think it would be better to wait until the weather warms up. Germination begins indoors in February and remove your stalks once they are 5-10 cm tall. San Luis Potosí is just entering the season of the lowest temperatures of the year. I advise you to wait until the weather improves. Good luck with your chilitos! Give them love and you will see that you will have healthy and large plants 😊

  4. Good morning: a consultation in the garden you can plant a variety of chili peppers. Or they don't have a good association.

    Thank you

    1. Hello, Consuelo. Of course, a variety of chili peppers can be sown in the same garden, as long as the distance between each seed is respected, being it about 60 cm. Keep in mind that the best month to germinate your seeds in Europe is generally in February, always starting from inside the house, since the most suitable temperature is 15 to 20 ° C. We wish you a lot of success with your garden!

      1. Thank you, thank you, thank you for responding. I will do so at 60cm. I live in Bolivia

        1. From what I know, Bolivia has different climates depending on the elevation of the region where you live. Also, I understand that they are just coming out of the cool season and that the temperatures currently range between 15 ° and 20 °, which may be perfect for sowing until outside. You will have to judge whether to sow indoors or immediately outdoors, but I feel like now is the time to do it. Greetings!

          1. Excellent information. Yannis sowed some serrano seeds and they already have a flower. I live in the state of Sonora Mexico. Thanks greetings.

          2. One of the greatest pleasures that blogging has given me is when I receive comments like yours, Jesus. The fact that your serrano has already flowered puts a big smile on my face. It gives immense happiness to know that all the work that goes into writing an article has helped someone have results. I hope you are encouraged to plant more chilitos. Thank you for your nice words. Greetings to all the beautiful people of Sonora!
