Harvest your chilli fruit to enjoy and promote new growth!
This week I’m showing you how to properly harvest your chilli fruit, which will not only give you amazing fruit to enjoy, but also promotes new growth on the plant!
Doing this properly will help keep your plant healthy and offer you even more fruit throughout the growing season!
What You’ll Need:
-
A chilli plant
- Your hand
Step-by-Step:
- Find the fruit you want to pick
- Take your thumb and finger and pinch stalk between them
- Pull the fruit away from the plant in the opposite direction to its growth (if the fruit hangs down, pull up)
- Repeat this process for each chilli you want to pick
Aftercare:
Keep checking the plant regularly, removing fruit when it is ripe enough for your needs!
