The pot should have holes in the bottom so water can run out. Drop several seeds onto the pot and cover them with some soil. Then cover the top of the pot with a plastic bag. Hold the pot in a warm area.When the chilies start growing, take off the bag. When the plants have reached about two centimeters high, take them out and place each one carefully in its own pot.When the plants are twenty centimeters high, tie the plants to a stick placed in the pot so that they will not fall down.When the chili peppers are thirty centimeters high, remove the tops off with your fingers.
