Happy Father's Day. Eco Mini Jalapeño Chilli Grow Kit

Grow your own jalapeños with this complete mini kit - the perfect gift for dads who like a bit of heat. Whether he's into cooking, gardening, or just loves a fiery kick in his food, this kit makes it simple to cultivate proper homegrown chillies from seed.

There's nothing quite like the satisfaction of harvesting your own chillies. Jalapeños pack a decent punch (2,500-8,000 Scoville units) without being overwhelming, making them brilliant for everything from nachos and pizzas to marinades and salsas. Fresh jalapeños have a bright, vegetal flavour that shop-bought versions just can't match.

What makes it work: Each kit includes batch-tested jalapeño seeds with enough to plant across several pots for multiple plants. The coir soil discs expand when watered, creating the perfect growing medium. Wooden plant markers help you keep track, and the step-by-step guide walks you through everything - ideal for first-time growers and experienced gardeners alike.

How to grow them: Soak the coir discs until they expand, sow seeds about 5mm deep, and keep warm and moist. Chillies need warmth to germinate (ideally 20-25°C), so a sunny windowsill or heated propagator works best. Seeds typically germinate within 10-21 days, with chillies ready to harvest around 16-20 weeks later. They're happiest in full sun and well-drained soil.

Why choose this kit? The packaging is recyclable, so there's no plastic waste heading to landfill. It makes a thoughtful Father's Day gift for foodie dads, keen gardeners, or anyone who enjoys growing their own produce. We batch-test every seed variety to ensure strong germination and healthy plants.
