Pour boiling water over a handful of chopped up tomato leaves and 3 subsections of garlic. Allow to infuse for 24 hours then remove vegetable matter, add a drop of dish washing liquid and spray on chilli leaves about once a week. If you want to get fancy you can also add a drop of linseed oil to the mix but I've found it works fine without.

you could use the chilly itself to deter the pests .............you take the fruit pulp it and pour warm water over the pulp let it stew for a few minutes ......one cup to one fruit ...........and use a bottle sprayer to spray the whole plant making sure o spray the underside of the leaves too............that should hold the pests at bay for a while if not working the up your ratio of fruit to water.... hopefully that works well

Check your soil pH. Blueberries require acidic soil. If pH>5.5, add peatmoss to the soil. Also, try not to water with tap water. Tap water is alkaline. Water with rainwater.

Why would you ask about blueberries in the chilli section? I have no idea - water, heat ????. Google how to grow blueberries.

You can sow up to 10 seeds but you must transplant when it is about 10 cm to individual pots for the plant to grow and give abundant chillies
