asalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Hello everyone, I'd like to share some of my current chili cultivation activities.
To plant chilies from seeds, prepare strong seedlings from the nursery. Then, make a hole in the soil or pot filled with growing medium approximately 2 to 3 cm deeper than the size of the pot. Place a thin layer of seedling soil into the hole. Gently cover with soil without pressing too hard. Water the newly planted seedlings immediately to reduce stress and prevent wilting. Provide regular care according to the plant's needs. Steps for planting chili seedlings:
-
Prepare the seeds and growing medium. Ensure the chili seedlings are strong enough and ready to be transplanted from their original container. Prepare a pot or area filled with loose, fertile growing medium.
-
Make a planting hole. Make a hole in the growing medium approximately 2-3 cm deeper than the pot or container.
-
Plant the seedlings. Carefully remove the seedlings from their containers to avoid breaking or damaging the growing medium and the size of the seedlings. Place the seedlings in the center of the planting hole.
-
Cover the hole with soil. Gently cover the seedlings with soil around the planting hole, making sure it's not too compact to ensure proper growth.
-
Water the seedlings immediately after planting to prevent wilting and stress due to the transplant.
- Routine care: Provide daily care with regular watering, fertilization, and pesticide spraying if necessary to prevent pests and diseases. Additional tips: 1. Choose quality seeds. Quality seeds come from mature plants and collect seeds from the center of the fruit. 2. Use mulch. Using silver mulch, with the silver side facing up, helps reflect heat and maintain moisture in the growing medium. 3. Provide space after transplanting. Provide temporary space for a few days to help the seedlings adapt to their new environment. Pay attention to drainage. Ensure the container or soil has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can cause root rot.
