Chilli and capsicum flower and fruit continuously, so they need steady, balanced feeding with special attention to calcium and potassium.
Feed the continuous crop
Because these crops flower and fruit at the same time, they need a constant supply of all nutrients. Calcium prevents fruit-end rot, potassium builds weight and colour, and micronutrients keep flowering strong.
