SPECIFICATIONS OF MALI CHILLY

Planting and care for mali chilly

Sowing mali chilli seeds

• Begin with a location that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight during the day. The sun is responsible for producing good bushes with the best-tasting produce.
•  Fill a grow bag halfway with moist seed compost and flatten them out.
• Sow a few seeds, cover with a fine sprinkling of vermiculite or compost.
•  Use polythene to cover your grow bags if you don't have a propagator.
• After 7-10 days of germination, you can remove the polythene cover.
• Chillies need well-drained soil with a pH of 6 to 7, so they should be planted in an area that has been supplemented with conditioned coco peat or compost.
• Once developed, regular applications of nitrogen liquid fertilizer will encourage fruiting, and fortnightly applications of seaweed extract will keep the root systems powerful.

Growing mali chilly

• Plant the chilli pepper plants 18 – 36 inches apart, with around 2 – 3 feet between rows.
• Eventually, plants grow to nearly 3 feet long.
• Water! Water! Maintain a steady moisture level in the soil, but not soaking wetness. Chilli peppers adore water almost as much as they adore the sun, but you don't want to drown them.
• The soil must be kept continuously moist to prevent the flowers and young fruit from dropping, so plenty of mulch and a trickle irrigation system is ideal during the summer's drier months.

Harvesting mali chilly

• When mature, most hot peppers turn red, but they can still be eaten in orange colour.
• When the fruit is strong, harvest all of the peppers. As long as the fruit is firm, peppers that remain on the plant past maturity may be used.
• The more fruit you cut off the plant, the more it will bloom and harvest.

Precautions while growing mali chilly

• Aim to maintain the soil temperature around 20 degrees Celsius. Watering – too much water or a compost that is too dry can stifle development.
• The soil in which a chilli seedling is planted should be rich in nitrogen. For the first month, this Nitrogen can assist with rapid development.
• Once in a month, apply seaweed extract granules and organic growth promoters to each plant for faster growth.

Common Problems affecting mali chilly plants and solutions

Chilli plants are enjoyed by several insects and other animals. The majority of them can be quickly removed with a mist of soapy water or by hand. To ensure the bugs and worms don't proliferate, you'll need to inspect your plants periodically. Insects love to hide and breed in dead or rotting plant material, so keeping the garden area around your pepper plants clean and clear of dead leaves and debris is vital.

Cutworms are the most destructive pests to chillies, preferring young seedlings in particular. Aphids will congregate under the leaves of pepper plants, excreting honeydew that will attract other insects. Aphids cause spots on plants' 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.

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. Peat, manure, or compost should be worked into the soil around the chilli plants.
