How much leaf growth is required before you can re-pot the chilli?

    A picture would help us give you a better answer. How old are the plants? Are they seedlings? – kevinskio Mar 31 '22 at 11:22

I've heard "as soon as the first 2 true leaves are developed". Water thoroughly just before - this keeps the soil together preventing the destruction of the feeder roots.

"Pricking out" to move to other pots (as when you have too many seedlings take in a single pot) can be done (carefully, and with some odds of loss) even when the plant has no true leaves yet.

If it's a single plant in a pot and you're asking when to repot larger, things become more nuanced.
