chili nutrients
Chili nutrients are essential for healthy and vigorous growth of your hot-fruited plants.
Growing chillies indoors or outdoors can give you a lot of satisfaction, provided you pay attention to those details that will help the plants grow luxuriantly and produce abundant and succulent fruits.
Fertilization is certainly one of these details . As with any plant, the use of the right fertilizing products will help it grow better and bear more fruit also for the chilli pepper.
Before each purchase, however, it is important to know which fertilizers for chilli peppers it is advisable to choose.
How to choose chili fertilizers for the pepper plant
Most of the natural fertilizing products for fertilizing chili peppers are called ternary , because they are made up of 3 essential nutrients:
- Phosphorus (P) : enhances flowering and strengthens the root system, helping the plant to better absorb nutrients;
- Nitrogen (N) : favors the development of the plant in the growth phase;
- Potassium (K) : It invigorates the plant and gives a sprint to fruiting, making it possible to obtain peppers with a strong flavour.
Here is the acronym npk that can be read on the packages of chilli fertilizers. These nutritional elements can be found separately (and therefore be used at different times of plant growth) or contained within a universal fertilizer , with the percentage of individual substances contained in it.
Other trace elements that must not be missing in a good fertilizer are: sulphur, magnesium, manganese, copper, iron and calcium, equally essential for the growth and well-being of your peppers.
Powder, pellets, and liquid fertilizer are the most common formulations of a pepper fertilizer. Furthermore, with a view to organic cultivation, it is always better to fall back on specific organic fertilizers for hot peppers, including:
- Earthworm humus : also called vermicompost, a substance produced by earthworms and mixed with manure and various other vegetable waste;
- Bat Guano : Fertilizer derived from seabird and bat droppings;
- Compost : an organic fertilizing substance obtained from various organic matter;
- Manure for chillies : fertilizer composed of excrements of farmed animals (cattle and horses) matured in compost with straw and other natural waste;
- Manure : organic compound very similar to manure, which derives from the excrements of hens, chickens and other birds.
