FAQ: Do I need two plants in order get chillies?

We’re occasionally asked whether you should grow a few plants in order to produce chillies…similar to how corn needs to polunate itself from multiple plants.  Chilli peppers are actually self pollinating.  This means that a little bit of air movement or exposure to a few bee’s could help to fertilize the flowers but you’ll only need one plant.
