Hi, first time poster and amateur gardener. My capsicum plant only producers small sized capsicums. But more concerning, majority of the capsicums always have a type of rot on the fruit. I was thinking it could be the heat? I live in Dalby, QLD. Also is there an easy way or method to water my plants the correct amount? I generally water every morning but what is too little or too much? This might also be a reason the capsicums are rotting or small? Thanks everyone.
The fruit is small most likely because they are not getting opportunity to reach full size due to fruit fly getting in at the early stages of growth. Initially they tend to be inconspicuous but they damage the fruit slowly from the inside, to the point where you try to harvest and you gat a handful of mush. So this most likely isn't fungal decay, but an insect. The best trick to solve this problem is to place net bags over any fruit once it has set - this will stop insect infestation while letting sunlight reach the fruit. They are easy to make but if you are not handy in that respect then we sell them here in the GardensOnline shop. P.S. you really only need to water every 2-3 days by the way. (unless your soil is totally free draining and sandy).
