Loosen the soil, remove weeds, and add organic fertilizers to improve soil fertility. Planting: Plant chili seeds in pots or directly in the garden. If using pots, ensure they have drainage holes. Plant the seeds at the appropriate depth as indicated on the seed packaging. After planting, gently water the plants. Plant Maintenance: Provide regular watering, especially when the plants are in the active growth phase. - Maintain soil moisture but avoid excessive waterlogging
Water the plants evenly and avoid overwatering, which can lead to diseases. Fertilization: Apply fertilizers regularly to ensure the plants receive sufficient nutrients. Use organic fertilizers or fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium according to the recommended dosage instructions. Pest and Disease Control: Monitor the plants to identify pests or diseases such as borers, aphids, or root rot. - Use appropriate control methods, such as using organic insecticides or natural remedies to minimize damage to the plants
Harvesting: Chilies are usually ready for harvest within 2-3 months after planting. Harvest the chilies when they have reached their mature color. Use sharp scissors or shears to cut the chilies to avoid damaging the plants.
