    I have always faced numerous challenges planting chili, particularly with blossom end rot. Recently, I planted three cayenne chili plants, and they are now yielding fully mature red chilies. I finally succeeded.

    I planted them in pots in an area with minimal or no rainfall. On hot days, I water them with approximately one cup of water daily. On cooler days, when the sun is not strong, I only water them when I notice the leaves starting to droop, using about one cup of water.

    The soil mix comprises about 50% raw compost, 50% earth, and one cup of finely crushed eggshells.
