You can grow in a small pot, but make sure that it is 3-4 inches deep and has proper drainage holes.

Use well-draining and fertile soil rich with compost for the growth of this plant.

Make sure that you take good quality green chillies seeds and plant them about an inch deep in the pot.

Now, place the pot in an area which gets about 5-6 hours of sunlight daily.

Make sure the soil remains moist consistently but is not water-clogged, or else the root can rot.

Prune the plants regularly for a bushier growth and increase the yield.
