Stages of Planting CABAI RAWIT in Pot or Polybag
- Choosing Chili Raw Seeds
cayenne seeds can use chili from the kitchen or buy old cayenne pepper on the market. If you have a chili tree that has fruit, old chili can be used as a seed. There are various types of cayenne pepper, including rawit green, white rawit and others. If you want to make seeds from cayenne purchased on the market, choose chili that is really old. The characteristics of chili which are good to be used as seeds are the bright red chili skin, looks fresh and not wrinkled, the stalks of fruit are still fresh green Do not make seeds from the chili fruit, the stems are dry and wrinkled, even though the color is red skin. Because it could be that the chili fruit is not red because it's old, but because it's stored too long. For the choice of type or variety, choose according to your taste
- How to sow seeds CABAI RAWIT
The chili fruit that has been selected for seed is split first to take the seeds. Then the chilli seeds are washed clean to remove the mucus attached to the chili seeds. Next do seed selection, namely by soaking chili seeds in water. Remove the floating and floating chilli seeds, take the sinking seeds to become seeds. Then the chili seeds are dried in the sun to dry and can be sown directly or stored
- Setting Up the Planting Media in a Polybag or Pot
The next step is to prepare pots / polybags and planting media. Pots or polybags that will be used to plant cayenne pepper should have a minimum diameter of 30 cm. Greater is better so that the pot / polybag can accommodate enough planting media for plant growth and development. The container used can use used goods in your home, such as used buckets, plastic bags / plastic bags, paint cans, used jerry cans and so on. The planting media should be prepared 10 days or 7 days before the age of the seedlings is ready to be transplanted.

if the planting media has been prepared and the seedlings are of sufficient age, then the planting process. Transfer of seedlings to enlargement media or planting should be done in the afternoon. Flush the planting media until it's wet and make a planting hole right in the middle of the pot or poly bag. If cayenne seedlings are sown without using polybags, take the seeds from the nursery carefully. The seeds should not be removed but pruned along with the soil and roots so that the seeds are not stressed after being transplanted. Put the seeds into the planting hole, cover the base of the seed using the soil while pressing-press a little so that the seeds are sturdy. Then watered with enough water.

Fertilizers given can be inorganic fertilizers or chemical fertilizer manufacturers or organic fertilizers

Because this is the cultivation of home-scale chili or hobby scale, the prevention of pests and diseases can be done manually. Namely by picking up pests directly or uprooting and throwing away the plants that are attacked by the disease. It could also be by spraying organic pesticides and using chemical insecticides if needed
