SELMA FARM sedang live sekarang! PERMASALAHAN CABE FASE GENERATIF

Introduction

Introductory Greeting

Asalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh! Good morning and healthy greetings to everyone. Alhamdulillah, this morning, Saturday, 14 September 2024, we are back live from Selma Farm after a break of over two weeks. Many have been asking for us to go live again, so thank you to everyone present today.

Welcoming Comments and Participation

Thank you, everyone, for joining us! A special shoutout to Kakard, Ari Wibowo, and Hasan Basri from Kuningan. Your support is greatly appreciated. We hope you're all in good health. Special thanks to our friend Hana ISPA for being here today.

Chili Planting Insights

During today’s session, we aim to address some questions concerning chili plants during their generative phase. Specifically, Mr. Pandi Ahmad had a question about the results of our chili seedling comparison using various planting mediums. As we discovered, fine, sifted garden soil yields the best results.

Today, we want to discuss issues that arise when chili plants transition from the vegetative to the generative or fruiting phase. For instance, our balcony garden produces an array of chilies, such as curly, big, and cayenne peppers, all of which are now bearing fruit.

Responses to Viewer Queries

Throughout our live session, we will be valuing the insights provided by viewers. Many of you have been inquiring about fertilizer types and the effects of various growing conditions on chili plants. A common theme we encounter is that sufficient sunlight and the right fertilization are critical for optimal growth in the generative phase.

Importance of Fertilization

For the generative phase, we advise focusing more on phosphorus and potassium. These nutrients are absorbed slowly, so it’s wise to incorporate them during the vegetative phase as well. Generally, we recommend using NPK fertilizers, especially those formulated for fruiting, such as NPK fruit formulations or TSP (Triple Superphosphate).

Managing Pests and Diseases

During our discussions, we also stressed the significance of pest and disease management, especially as chilies are prone to issues such as root rot, curly leaves, and various pests like caterpillars. To handle these challenges effectively, we recommend using insecticides and fungicides periodically.

Final Thoughts and Acknowledgements

Before we wrap up, I'd like to remind everyone to engage with our videos, leave comments, and share your experiences. Your feedback encourages us to produce more content and help other chili enthusiasts. We'll be live again to continue the discussion about nurturing our chili plants, so stay tuned!
