  • Adjust as Needed: Monitor plant health and adjust fertilizer applications accordingly.

2. Pest Control:

  • For severe pest problems, mix 1 teaspoon of neem oil in 1 liter of water and apply every 3 days during the morning or evening. For ongoing protection, reapply every 7 to 10 days.

3. Watering:

  • Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells.
