Is necessary to Water the plant two or three times a week, then we must wait approximately two and a half months for the first peppers to grow. Depending on the type of chili, as soon as they are the right size between 6 and 8 centimeters, have an intense green color or start to turn orange, you can pick up them and use them to flavor our meals. We should try to avoid leaving them for a long time in the bush to prevent them from rotting.
