The price covers 6 chilli seeds
Sow in moist seed compost or peat pellets and keep warm, at about 25–30°C for the best germination. The compost should be moist but not wet. A propagator helps to keep the air humid. Once the seedlings have grown a little and have their second pair of leaves, you can lower the temperature to about 20°C and move them out of the propagator. They do well on a sunny windowsill, in a greenhouse and outdoors in summer. For best results, soak the seeds in Growhelper for 12–24 hours before sowing.
