How to save dying chilli plants

If your chili plants are struggling after heavy rain, try the following steps to help them recover:
1. **Improve Drainage**: Ensure that the soil drains well to prevent waterlogging. If necessary, you can improve drainage by adding organic matter like compost or by creating raised beds.
2. **Check for Root Damage**: Gently inspect the roots for rot. Healthy roots are usually white or light tan. If you find rotting roots, trim them off with sterilized scissors and repot the plant if possible.
3. **Remove Excess Water**: If water is pooling around the plants, gently tilt the container or mound the soil to help excess water drain away.
4. **Prune Affected Areas**: Remove any damaged or yellowing leaves to help the plant focus its energy on new growth.
5. **Avoid Fertilizing Immediately**: After heavy rain, the soil's nutrient balance can be disrupted. Wait until the plant shows signs of new growth before adding fertilizer.
6. **Check for Pests and Disease**: Heavy rain can sometimes lead to fungal or bacterial infections. Look for signs of pests or disease and treat accordingly.
7. **Provide Support**: If the plants are leaning or falling over, gently stake them or provide support to help them stand upright.
8. **Adjust Watering Practices**: Once the plants start recovering, adjust your watering practices to ensure the soil remains moist but not waterlogged.
By taking these steps, you can help your chili plants bounce back from the stress of heavy rain.
