Is it safe to plant chilli seedlings when the surface is dry or must I wait for the rain to fall first,because I'm in Limpopo and it hasn't rained in ages and I would like to start planting my chilli seedlings.so am a bit panicking because of the dry season but I have a borehole.please advise me on what to do.

Hi Matt, I have moved to Cairns recently and am very interested in growing Habaneros and other chillies. Could I grab some seeds from you? Would love to get some general advice on varieties and local conditions too. Cheers

Check the if stems are too deep in the soil, the roots should start just under the soil surface (1-2mm). If they are suffering from stem rot, the water and food cannot move up and down between the leaves and roots and the plant will dry out. If they have stem rot it may be difficult to save them.

My hot chilli plant is suddenly drying up. I've been watering it twice a week and feeding it Seasol liquid fertilizer. It was doing great till about two weeks ago. I even bring it in at night to keep it away from the cold and during the day it sits under a skylight. What can I do to keep it alive?

Chill does not like over watering.If the leaves are showing"yellowing' this is definite sign of water excess . Cut down the water and give good drink only ,when the leaves show bit sign of drooping. Dont worry the plant will recover well.

Over watering is no good for chlli plant.The thumb rule of watering need of the plant is when the leaves little bit droops. I would suggest cut down the watering and check the drainage is good.If the leaves are yellowing in nature i presume the over watering could be the reason. Don't worry about even sea soling..Godd luck
