Perpetual Peppers, How to Grow Chilipeppers

It all started when I received a present of dried peppers from South Africa.

These peppers are really great, both is size and flavour so I decided to grow them myself and make pictures for this instructable in the process :).

Its my first instructable, it took a year to grow...

Step 1: Collecting Seeds

To get the seeds just open up the dried peppers

Step 2: Sowing

Sow the seeds in general purpose potting soil, about 2 cm apart.

Step 3: Planting

When the pot gets crowded, carefully replant in individual pots.
If you have a (vegetable)garden plant them in the soil, my "garden" consists of a assortment of pots.

Step 4: Watering and Waiting

Water the plants and wait for growt.
Fertilize as you want, I tend to use liquid fertilizer, once a week.

Step 5: Flowers and Fruits

This is just a step to show how mother nature takes care of things: first there are tiny white flowers and then small green peppers.

Step 6: Wonderfull Peppers!

And then, after 5 months, you get this as end product.
