Wow, who told you this?? Chiles thrive in a pH ideally between 6.7 and 7.3,
fairly neutral. I cannot imagine trying to grow them successfully in a 4.5
pH. The limits are about 6.0 and 8.0 for decent growing conditions. Chiles
generally like warm, full-sun locations with a well-drained loam or
sandy-loam high in organic material but moderate fertility. Thanks for
