RE: My hot little peppers in plastic containers

You have such lovely varieties of hot peppers - yielding much colorful fruits! I love hot peppers too and I have some in my garden, around 50 plants but some of them died. They had been attacked by root rot so I just decided to pull them to avoid contamination. I still have around 30 plants left and I hope they won't be affected by root rot anymore. We put some fungicide near the roots but some of them still died so I have been looking for the best solutions against these pests killing our hot pepper plants. I hope you can share your best practice if you experienced this before.
And yes, we love hot peppers too! My region is known for being a chili lover, so we are called 'oragons' which means 'brave' or 'resilient'. Chili is indispensable in every dish. In my opinion, hot pepper improves appetite and it lets me eat a lot. Not to mention it's health benefits, no doubt, your doctor recommended it for you.
Saying hi to those colorful chili fruits in your garden! I only have the green ones.
I use the means that are the least dangerous to our health. I use copper preparations, copper hydroxide,I disinfect seeds before planting.And you can also try without harmful preparations like this: add two full tablespoons of baking soda and half a glass of milk to 5 liters of water, and spray the plants with it twice a month. Baking soda is rich in calcium, and removes fungal spores, and milk is a wetting agent, allowing the soda to stick to the leaf.
Oh thank you! I'll try baking soda and milk. It's a little unmanageable now, as I visited the plants this morning, there's a new victim. Though it's only one this tome but I fear it might continue to spread if not given proper intervention.
