Chintexle chilli seeds. This chilli is another Mexican classic. A small to medium plant, great for balconies. Very productive, producing loads of small teardrop shaped pequin pods that point upwards. Pods are great for drying and an essential ingredient in Mexican dishes.

* The container sizes above are sugested sizes that are reasonable and accessible for most growers (taking price, space, ecological/environmental impact into consideration). Not everyone can look at growing in huge containers. If you can justify growing in larger containers  - there are no limitations on container sizes. You may however, rather look at growing in soil as an option in these instances. Using large amounts of potting medium will come with ecological/environmental impact, which you may wish to take into consideration.
