Growing Chilli peppers, also Hot peppers

View the Chilli peppers page

23 Jan 12 Lynne (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
I've grown chillis many years but in another country. I'm now in a sub-tropical area of Australia and not having any luck with any type of chilli plant. I've bought seedlings, seeds and even been given grown producing plants. They never seem to develop much beyond whatever stage they were in when given to me. What am I doing wrong? Are they more difficult to grow in the sub-tropics? Could it be a soil issue? Thanks for any suggestions or help.
