Can I feed my young chili plants with Baby Bio House Plant Feed?
Question:I posted yesterday about the tips of the leaves turning white and dying (they are potted outside). Someone suggested that I am not feeding them enough, and that I should try a high-nitrogen feed. Havent managed to get to a garden centre yet, but wondered if Baby Bio would do the job? it has 10% nitrogen in it...
Answers:
Hello,
The answer to your question is yes. Any feed is good, their all the same really. I use tomato feed on all of my conservatory plants and they have very quick growing sperts.
Any more questions don't hesertate to ask.
Thankyou
Yes - I feed mine with it and they are fine - last years crop was excellent
hi i have always been told that if you do not feed chili plants you get hotter fruit?
If you use a high nitrogen plant food you will end up with all leaf and very little crop. Nitrogen is used to stimulate green growth which is why lawn foods are high in nitrogen. whatever food you use make sure it is balanced and is suitable for a food plant as not all are and may leave residue that you do not want to consume! The best liquid feed is a soup made from manure, this is not always practical otherwise the nearest decent garden centre.
I agree with Eoghan. I use bio on mine and have not had that problem.It sounds like the last frost got them and burnt the tips.Snip them off to prevent any disease spreading from the dead leaves better the energy go into new growth then into ugly leaves.
yes
