What to feed chillies

    @ERICS MUM my chillies have flowered and then fell off from the stem, what is going on?
    I feed them when the water in the saucer dries up just a little so that it starts to show water again as I'm told not to let them dry out.
    I'm feeding them with miracle grow plant feed.
    Also, I had a problem with aphids but sprayed daily with a mixture of washing up liquid and water which seems to have cured that problem but, can it have harmed the plants?

    Thanks again.
    I also had an aphid issue on some chilli plants in the greenhouse. I sprayed with washing up liquid and water, but it looks like I may have killed the plants - leaves are discoloured and some buds have fallen off 🙁 do they come back to life or should I just cut my losses?

    I had aphids on one of my chilli plants. I washed the aphids off, moved it away from the others and put it in a cold frame outside on its own. The aphid attack set it back a bit and it’s not grown as big as the others, but it’s flowering and fruiting just fine.  🌶
