pepper/chilli plant care?
« on: April 07, 2010, 16:02:13 »
Hello all,

Could anyone tell me whether I should pinch out tips or sidde shoots from chilli/red pepper plants?

Or are there any 'must do' things for optimum fruiting??

Regards,

TD

I dont pinch mine out at all - they bush out fairly naturally..
A good all round Tom fert for feeding and spray when in flower to encourage fruit set.  Some spray with a dilute Epson Salt mix but I just mist with water...
Moved to Portugal - ain't going back!
