Use a well-draining potting mix enriched with organic matter. Avoid using garden soil, as it tends to compact in containers, hindering root growth. A mix designed for vegetables or peppers works well.
Chili peppers thrive in full sunlight, so choose a sunny spot for your containers. Ensure that they receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
If you’re growing peppers indoors, place them near a south-facing window or under grow lights.
5. Watering Habits:
Consistent watering is crucial for chili peppers, but they dislike waterlogged soil. Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out before watering.
When watering, do so thoroughly until water drains from the bottom, ensuring even moisture distribution.
6. Feeding Schedule:
Peppers are heavy feeders, especially when producing fruits. Begin with a balanced fertilizer when planting, and then switch to a fertilizer higher in phosphorus (the middle number on the fertilizer label) once flowers appear. Follow the recommended application rates on the fertilizer packaging.
7. Container Size Matters:
Chili pepper plants can become quite bushy and may require staking, especially when laden with fruit. Provide support for larger varieties, and consider the mature size of the pepper plant when choosing your container.
