Chilli Update

The chilli plant looks very happy and healthy after I foliar-fed it with some seaweed extract. It has been producing plenty of flower buds and soon they will be fruiting.

The problem that I always face when growing chilli plants is that they are very susceptible to leaf diseases such as curling, distortion, crinkling etc. With such diseases, the growth of the plant will be stunted and might even die. In fact my chilli plant did show some of these symptoms while they are young. I suspect that the cause of these disease is due to a certain plant virus that could be carried from infected plants to another plants by plant pests.

...and I might need to repot this plant as the current container is rather small.
