Growing Chili Peppers at Home: Tips for Vibrant Growth

By Lesia
  1. Container selection: Choose containers with sufficient depth and drainage for your plants’ roots. A container of at least 5 gallons is ideal for healthy development.
  2. Soil preparation: Use potting soil with good drainage and organic matter. Chili peppers prefer slightly acidic soil. Add fertilizer to enrich the substrate.
  3. Sowing seeds: Plant the seeds following the instructions on the package. Place the containers in a sunny location for optimal growth.
  4. Irrigation: Keep the soil moist during flowering and fruiting, avoiding excess water to prevent root rot. Water deeply when the top layer of soil is dry.
  5. Fertilization: Use a balanced or specific fertilizer for peppers following the application recommendations.
  6. Unconventional approach: Try vitamin B complex to stimulate growth. Dissolve a tablet in water and apply to the soil or as a foliar spray, but use caution and test before applying on a large scale.
