Brilio.net - Chili is the main ingredient in making various types of chili sauce, such as onion chili sauce, tomato chili sauce, shrimp paste chili sauce, and raw chili sauce. In addition, chili is also often used as a seasoning to add a spicy taste to dishes. Although chili is easy to find on the market, its price sometimes increases. Therefore, many people choose to grow their own chilies at home.
Planting chilies can be done in the yard, small pots, polybags, or even used gallons. However, in order for chili plants to grow well and bear fruit abundantly, proper care is essential. Some people use kitchen ingredients such as MSG or used rice washing water to care for chili plants. In addition, there are other tricks that can be tried, one of which is a method shared by a netizen named Firman.
This man claims that there is a simple natural ingredient that can help chili plants grow well. The ingredient is ash from burning wood, grass, dried plants, or other natural ingredients. The ash can be sprinkled sufficiently onto the chili plant's planting medium evenly.
Reported from hort.extension.wisc.edu, fertilizer from ash is very useful for increasing the pH or acidity level of the planting medium. In addition, ash is also rich in calcium, so it can be useful for supporting plant growth to be more fertile.

Next, water the planting medium until it is moist. Firman explained, in addition to using fertilizer from ash, you can also use other types of fertilizer alternately with ash, so that chili plants can get nutrients from many different sources. That way, chili plants can bear fruit faster and be fertile.
"This burnt ash fertilizer can also be used on other plants," he explained, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube Firman Garden on Monday (6/1).
