If harvested just before maturing, it can still produce a full crop, but a young plant will produce only one pepper. A chilli plant will reach maturity in about two days. Once mature, the average life cycle is about one day before dropping a single pepper and reverting to its young stage. It will go through this cycle several times before completely de-spawning, producing a total of up to half a dozen peppers. One indicator of a mature chilli plant is a slight [[Light|glow]], mostly visible against darkness. | If harvested just before maturing, it can still produce a full crop, but a young plant will produce only one pepper.
