More and more people are growing flowers, and more and more are also growing vegetables and fruit trees in pots on their balconies. Why? It's natural and full of fun! Actually, growing vegetables in pots is also a technical skill. Some people grow all kinds of vegetables and melons in pots on their balconies, and the harvest is enough to feed the whole family, while some flower lovers just aren't good at growing them. Today let's share the tips for growing small chili peppers in pots on the balcony. Potted chili peppers are easy to grow, bear fruit quickly, and produce a lot. The key is that they're also pollution-free~

For potted chili peppers, you first need to understand their growing habits, such as loving sunlight and moist soil. In addition, some small tips can also help everyone grow potted chili peppers quickly and well. This little tip also applies to all kinds of potted flowers. First, take a look at the potted chili peppers that others have grown~ see the picture below

Aren't you envious? From now on there's no need to be envious, because you can do it too! To grow potted chili peppers well, we need to start from the very beginning of planting. Newly planted potted chili peppers must use fertile, loose nutrient soil. Because chili peppers need a lot of nutrients, and growing in pots is different from growing in the ground, you need to pay extra attention to the role of the soil. You can mix nutrient soil yourself. The specific method is to take leaf mold, ordinary garden soil, and coarse sand and mix them in a 1:2:1 ratio.

Next comes daily care. Because chili peppers like plenty of scattered light, it's best to put them on the balcony. Of course, summer is too hot, and direct blazing sun will also hinder the growth of potted chili peppers, so it's recommended to provide appropriate shade during those few hours around noon. Besides light, there's watering and fertilizing. For watering, it's recommended to water once a week. Since potted chili peppers like to grow in soil containing humus and slightly acidic soil, you can pour the rice-washing water from daily life into the pot.

And fertilizing is the most crucial point. Because these are potted on the balcony, things like barnyard manure and chicken manure can't be used. This is where the little tip we're talking about today comes in! That is to use decomposed soybeans as a substitute~

Soybeans are rich in protein and various trace elements, and especially after fermentation they are most suitable for growing plants and melons. The method for fermenting soybeans is as follows: first soak the soybeans in water for two hours, then steam and boil them in a large pot for half an hour. After they're cooked, pour them into a sealed container such as a mineral water bottle or a bucket, fill it with water, and place it in a cool place for two months. Then take it out and it's ready to use! As shown in the picture above, in the soil of the potted chili peppers, dig a small hole every five centimeters, put three to five soybeans in, and cover with soil.
