Chilli peppers are the fruits of the pepper plant (Capsicum annuum)
With a typically spicy flavor. In Oliver, they take longer to grow than herbs, but patience brings a great reward: the first fruits are a small home miracle. You can eat them fresh or dry them. Even in small amounts, they "kick up" salsa, curry, stir-fry, marinades, or even homemade ketchup.
Custom planting vs. prepared sets
Individual capsules are intended more for advanced growers who:
build their planting from scratch themselves
understand the differences in growth speed and plant size
want full control over the composition of their planting
If you want to be sure that the plants will grow evenly and the harvest will be continuous, we recommend choosing a prepared plant set with chilli pepper. Sets are designed so that the individual plants work as a whole – without having to figure out combinations, light, or growth pace.

A medium-large plant (size L) that is best combined with size S and M plants.
How chilli pepper behaves during growing
you will wait for the harvest, but it will be worth it!
it needs a large amount of light
fruits are harvested – unripe for a less spicy flavor, ripe for a real kick
the growing cycle is optimized for about 180 days
How to plant it and what to pair it with
The chilli pepper is a size XL plant, so keep that in mind when arranging plants in your Oliver.
What that means in practice:
it needs more room, so give it a position where it will not crowd its neighbours
pair it with size S plants
expect it to grow tall and cast a little shade on the plants around it
