The size of the plant depends on many things, like what variety it is, how much feed you give it, and how big the pot is. I find that many chilli plants grow bigger if you give them a big pot, though unfortunately this is not always the case!Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-16273834226347452802018-08-01T13:28:54.957+01:002018-08-01T13:28:54.957+01:00Hi Mark. just came across your site and you have m...Hi Mark. just came across your site and you have me subscribed.

Hope you get more than one or two though - the plant will look beautiful.Liz - Suburban Tomatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15967077073783256161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-32447574284084571722013-06-10T06:31:48.663+01:002013-06-10T06:31:48.663+01:00I am just the same!

They make wonderful photos on a blog when they turn to red in the Autumn, good Christmas decorations when dried and strung up. If you want to grow a milder chilli I found one last year called 'Apricot'. It is about the shape and size of a Scotch Bonnet, but you can eat it like a sweet pepper. Beautiful flavour.<br />Matronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07705506930308472527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-47102244987760805922013-06-10T06:13:26.447+01:002013-06-10T06:13:26.447+01:00Hi; thanks for dropping by and taking the time to ...Hi; thanks for dropping by and taking the time to leave me a comment!
