Due to their hobby, people also plant green chilli plant in their homes. But often people complain that chilli plants are not growing and even after taking good care, they are not able to understand what is missing due to which the plant is not able to grow.
If your green chilli plant used to have good yield earlier, but now flowers and chillies are not coming, then it may be a sign of some change in the care of the plant. It is very important to take proper care of the plants like regular watering, getting the right amount of sunlight and there is no deficiency of nutrients in the soil. Today, through this article, we will tell you what could be the reasons for chilli plant not growing and how it can be solved.
If the plant is not getting enough sunlight, it may affect its growth and production. Green chilli plants need at least 4 to 6 hours of sunlight a day so that they can grow properly and produce good fruits.
If the plant is being overwatered, it can cause its roots to rot, causing the plant to not grow properly. Excessive watering of green chilli plants can harm them, because excess water makes the soil too wet, which leads to lack of oxygen and the roots do not function properly.
Due to not pruning the plants from time to time, its growth can be negatively affected and due to this, flowers or chillies are not able to grow. When the branches and leaves of the plant grow excessively, it does not allow the plant's energy to be spent properly, due to which flowers and fruits are not able to come.
If the plant is not being given proper fertilizer, its growth may be affected and it may have difficulty thriving. Green chilli plants especially need nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which are obtained from fertilizer. Therefore, it is very important to use the right fertilizer for the plants from time to time.
To keep the chilli plant green and healthy, you can use home-made fertilizers, such as cow dung, vermi compost, green manure, egg shells, banana peels, tea leaves and coffee. These all-natural ingredients provide essential nutrients to plants and improve the quality of the soil.
Apart from this, keep in mind that fertilizer should be used in a balanced form so that the plant does not get excess or insufficient nutrients. If you use market fertilizer, always apply it in the correct quantity as per the instructions given on the product, so that the plant remains healthy and gives a good yield.
