Oh yeh!  Trimmed all old leaves.  The new leaves coming out healthily.  Happy.


Growing fast after 2 days heavy rain 
20210819 Thursday 5.30 pm

New leaves are coming out 12 days after trimming.





20210806 Fri 11:30 am Sunny Morning

Got this last year 20201030

Do some trimming.

Likely this pot of Curry Leaves is not very healthy.   

curry leaf plant is infested by a Fungus, or pest called citrus Hindu mite,

White Spots were grown all over the leaves.   I want to try with my new order of "Fungicide" and "Pesticide" on it.   Let's monitor and see how it will change.

According to our friend, he said this is normal, okay, and healthy, new leaves will grow out again.   I am not too sure.  Let's observe further.

All Chilies 
3 weeks seedlings.


20210805 Thursday 8.45 am

The soil in this pot originally keeps growing out with plenty of weeds.

I used some eggshells to cover up the whole surface for a few days and all weeds could not survive.  

Now I have a bit less job pulling out the weeds.
Planted these about three weeks ago.

20210913 Monday 09.45 am light rain morning

Move over the 18 months Chili plant from the big tub into this smaller blue pot, to join with the other 18 months and 12 months plants together. Built the small fencing with the sticks so to have better support and alignment.  Like to see them strand straight in a line.  

These 3 are the tallest right now. The rest are all newly grown.

So, can keep the big tub for taller plants.  Really feel the scarcity of space.  


20210826 Wednesday 08.15 am.  Rainy morning.

Chili buds
from the 18 months old Chili
It's growing really fast.

Chili buds
from the 18 months old Chili.

20210814 Saturday 745 am
Chili buds
from the 18 months old Chili.

Add compost every two weeks.
Add fertilizer every two weeks after seeing these buds coming out,
Chili buds from the 18-month Chili plant.  
Date of birth: 20200204
        

   

Always flip over the leaves and check regularly,  trim off the infected leaves.   
If they are badly infected, they will need to be sprayed with pesticides or fungicides.
I usually wash them off with a bowl of water.

20210812 Thursday 7.25 am
The 18 months old chili, I planted this last year 20200204, 
and the 1-year-old Chili, the smaller one was planted in 20200728.

This 18-month-old chili is growing happily.

  

  

20210806 Friday Sunny Morning 9 am.

Transplant chili.
This was planted in 20200424.
18 months chili.

    

Cover the base on the tub with the firm and hard Giants' transparent plastic eggs tray cover.  This is to cover up those big holes at the bottom of the tub for :

(1) preventing the soils from leaking out through the holes at the bottom,  

(2) preventing the water from running out too fast, helping a bit in the water retention during hot warm weather, and 

(3) preventing the growth of roots from running out through the holes in the future.

I like to put a cotton wool knitting thread into the soil, so it will pull up water to prevent the plant from dehydration.  It keeps the soil moisture for a longer time.

        

Add in more new soil "veggie gold", my preference. 
Add in some "vermicast".
This plant is too tall so I trim off one stalk from the top and try to re-grow it somewhere else.
Okay ...  pour in a lot of water and push it out to expose them to the sun and rain.
Okay.  Job Done for today!
