How to grow chilli in pots at home?

Chillies thrive in 8–10-inch pots with 6+ hours of direct sun. Choose Kashmiri, Byadgi, or hybrid varieties like Pusa Jwala. Use a loamy mix with 30% compost. Water when the top inch dries. Pinch early flower buds to boost branching. Fertilise with potassium-rich feed once flowering begins. Plants stay productive for 2–3 years in Indian conditions.
