Plants fall under attack by diease and insects because they are already under stress.

Make sure the plants you choose are adapted for your geographic location. Plants are often sold in garden centers that aren’t best for local soil types, temperatures, and other conditions.

Make sure they are planted at the right time of the season, and at the correct depth.

Give them gentle, organic fetilizers which won’t “force” grwoth that the plant won’t be able to sustain. NItrogen fertilizers cause rapid growth, but the sturcture is weak. (Think house of cards–built up quick, but no foundation…)

Spray with compost tea with crushed jalapeno, garlic, and pepper flakes to defend against insects and for “foliar feeding”
