_Posted by Rick on 2023-06-30_

Hey guys good morning I was wondering y my cayenne Chile plant getting holes but I’ve been spraying water with a lil bit of soap with water in a spray bottle on my other Chile plant nd it’s helping a lot idk if I should do the same? Or do u guys have any recommendations to put on it that will help? Nd it’s still blooming with chiles as well so that’s a good thing 😄

A neem spray or an insecticidal soap is a good choice for food plants. Just don’t do it in the sun or it will burn. Make sure it’s dry before the sun hits it. Soap and water do work but sometimes you need a little more oomph in your pest control. Potassium salts in the insecticidal soap add extra pest killing power. Neem is stinky but it works too.
