When you start your agriculture project in Malaysia cultivating chilli peppers, you should not have too much trouble, provided you have a sheltered sunny corner in the garden or a greenhouse. Chilli peppers are less tolerant of northern climates, where they can only be grown in a greenhouse. If the capsicums are to be grown outside, harden off the plants in a cold frame before planting out in late spring, after the danger of frost has passed. Choose a sheltered sunny spot against a wall and plant seedlings about 2 feet apart in well-drained, well-manured soil with some super phosphate raked in. But remember that too rich a soil may encourage leaf, not fruit, growth.
Keep in mind the seeds should be planted during spring in pots or trays of sterilized seed compost, and maintained at a temperature of about 20°C/70°F. When the seedlings are large enough to handle, prick them out into 3-inch pots of potting compost. Pot on as necessary taking extreme care not to damage the root system in any way, as damaging the roots will seriously retard the plant's growth progress. The larger the pot, the larger the plant and obviously, the larger the crop. Stand the pots in good light to ensure sturdy, short jointed growth.
Don't forget to pinch out the growing tips when the plants are about 6 inches high to encourage a bushy growth. Support the plants and keep the roots moist. Feed once a week with mild liquid fertilizer such as a seaweed based fertilizer.
You will notice the flowers will appear in late spring to early summer. Nip out the first ones to encourage fruiting. The fruits should be ready for picking in mid to late summer, and remember, the more fruit you remove, the more fruit the plant will produce. Start picking the fruits just before they start to ripen fully or don't appear to be getting any larger.
Now if the peppers are to remain in the greenhouse, the seedlings should be potted on into 6 inch and then 8 to 10 inch pots. They can also be planted in gro-bags. Nip out the flowers as for the outdoor plants, stake them where necessary and syringe the leaves daily during the flowering period to encourage fruit setting.
Remember to water the plants regularly and feed at 10-day intervals once the fruits appear. Keep the atmosphere fairly dry with a minimum night temperature of 18°C/64°F and lightly shade the glass during the hottest months.

A fever is your physique's reaction to some thing if perceives as a threat - eg: viruses or micro organism. the concept is that raising the temp of your physique helps to kill the germs swifter and that the germs can not stay in an atmosphere this is in simple terms too warm. combating this organic reaction can certainly save you sicker longer. till the fever is severe (over 102) or making you somewhat uncomfortable, you do no longer would desire to cut back it. If although, your fever is going too severe (a hundred and five-107) you could go through suggestions injury and seizures. *Then* you elect to cut back your temp, and rapidly. Cool moist washclothes on your brow and neck try this nicely. As do Ibuprofin or Tylenol. (Taken in basic terms as directed - Tylenol is very basic to OD on and would wreck your liver) while you're working a fever, and you *do no longer* have indicators to diagnose what the reason being (eg: you have a fever with runny nostril and sore throat, that's clever to have faith which you have a chilly) you will desire to work out a checklist to parent it out.

Chilli peppers are easy to grow in hot humid climates like Malaysia. I think all you would have to do is till your soil, plant some seeds, and watch them grow. What could be simpler?
