Carefully remove them from the tray. Water the seedlings before removing them to keep the compost from crumbling during the relocation. Fill a grow bag with compost that has a diameter of 7 cm. Water the compost lightly and dig a well in the centre. Fill the space with compost and place a seedling in it gently. As your Chilli plant grows, move it to a larger grow bag. Fill a larger pot partly with compost and create a well in the centre. Gently take out the plant and place it in the larger grow bag, covering its roots with a massive clump of compost. Place your potted Chilli plant near a window or outside to get some sunlight, but remember to bring it inside if the temperature lowers. The amount of light received by the plant determines the rate and size of its growth. In a spot that receives more sunlight in your garden with at least 6-8 hours of sunlight, dig a hole sufficiently to fit the seedling or plant. To promote proper growth, Chilli plants should be placed at least 45 cm apart from other plants. Fill the gap with an even blend of soil and compost and gently place the plant in the hole.

Aphids will congregate under the leaves of pepper plants, excreting honeydew that will attract other insects. Aphids cause spots on plant's leaves, distort their shape and cause them to wilt. Armyworms and fruit worms both enjoy eating fresh, tender pepper pods, as well as the foliage on occasion. Flea beetles are pests that attack young plants. You'll notice distinct holes in the foliage if they're present. Corn borers eat their way through the insides of pepper pods and kill them. Hornworms can completely devastate a pepper plant, but they're so big that you can easily pluck them off by hand. Whiteflies are known to be particularly damaging to pepper plants. They can spread harmful viruses and cause shrivelling, yellowing, and dropping leaves.\u003cbr\u003e• Plant your chilli peppers in sterilized soil to grow a stronger plant that can withstand insect attacks better. Cover the soil with aluminium foil and spread it out on a metal baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes at 180°F to 200°F in a preheated oven. Until planting, allow the soil to cool.

Mulch when the soil temperature rises above 16°C to preserve moisture. Before planting, amend planting beds with aged compost. At mid-season, side-dress soybeans with aged compost. Avoid fertilizing planting beds with nitrogen-rich fertilizers.
