Growing Techniques
Bird's eye chili or Capsicum annuum, display compact growth habits and are ideal for container cultivation. Container cultivation involves the use of various types of containers to grow plants. Bird's eye chili grown in containers require 5 basic needs: adequate drainage of container, size of container, regular watering, nutrient supplements, and sufficient light.

Choosing the ideal container
An ideal container should provide enough drainage to allow excess water to escape meanwhile preventing overwatering of the roots. It is advised the container should not be placed on a saucer since the excess water may cause the roots to rot.

Maintenance
Container cultivation of chili plants generally need more fertilizer compared to those grown in a garden. Effective fertilizers such as 10-10-10 liquid fertilizer, fish emulsion or Osmocote. Bird's eye chilis grown in containers grow best in partial shade or areas with full light exposure in the morning and can be grown in doors or outdoors.
