• Ornamental chillies require warm and humid weather with temperatures ranging between 20°C to 30°C. They require a lot of sunlight, so it is best to plant them in a location that receives at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day.
• Here are some tips for growing ornamental chillies in India:
• Soil: Ornamental chillies prefer well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. The soil pH should be between 6.0 to 7.5.

• Pruning: Prune the plant regularly to promote bushier growth and to prevent it from becoming too leggy.

• Harvesting: Ornamental chillies can be harvested when they are fully mature and have reached their full color. They can be used for decorative purposes, but they are not recommended for consumption.
• By following these tips, you can successfully grow healthy and beautiful ornamental chillies in your garden in India during the appropriate growing season.
