GENERAL INFORMATION

• Bird's eye chili, bird eye chili, bird's chili, or Thai chili is a chili pepper, a variety from the species Capsicum annuum, commonly found in Ethiopia and across Southeast Asia.
• It is often confused with a similar-looking chili derived from the species Capsicum frutescens, the cultivar "siling labuyo".
• Capsicum frutescens fruits are generally smaller and characteristically point to the sky.
• It is used extensively in Thai, Malaysian, Singaporean, Lao, Khmer, Indonesian, Kerala, and Vietnamese cuisines.

SOIL REQUIREMENT

• Plant your ornamental peppers in a rich, loamy soil.
• Generous soil amendments of compost and manure will both improve tilth and add trace nutrients for healthier plants.

LIGHT REQUIREMENT

• Ornamental peppers need full sun for the energy to produce flowers and colorful fruit.
• If you grow these plants indoors, you should use supplemental artificial lighting for healthy plants and good fruiting.

WATER REQUIREMENT

• While ornamental peppers exhibit limited drought tolerance, they do not like to be waterlogged either.
• Water whenever the soil's surface feels dry, and aim for a moisture level like that of a wrung-out sponge.
