Most of us know how to deal with curly leaves on chili plants using insecticides, both chemical and natural and that's not wrong, it's true. But why are the leaves still curling?
I believe most of us spray chili plants that we only spray the entire upper leaf surface. And it turns out that the lice or pests attack the underside of the leaves, so spraying the undersides of the leaves is the most important because it is from under the leaves that the pests attack and cause the leaves to curl.
The correct way is: spray the entire surface and underside of the leaves as well as the stems, the point is OVERALL.
TIPS TO GROW MAXIMUM CHILLIAN PLANTS:
- From the age of 10 days, insecticides must be sprayed regularly every 3 days. Pests prefer to attack young leaves, so when the leaves start to age, the duration of the spray is enough once a week.
- When the plant is 30 - 45 days old, it is mandatory to prun the leaves so that there are not too many leaves, this is so that the plants are not damp and susceptible to pests and then focus on nutrition to the fruit.
NOTE: If we plant cayenne pepper for sale, it is MANDATORY to use superior HYBRID seeds and we can buy that at the farm shop, why? Because the Hybrid Seed is the number 1 quality seed, the yield is more abundant and the quality of the chili is also excellent👍
If for a new household scale (own consumption) there is nothing wrong with using seeds from kitchen waste.
Good luck and hopefully useful
