Chillis and Peppers max pot size?
« on: July 07, 2015, 15:10 »
Hello. I'm growing chillis and peppers for the first time this year (I know!)...they're happily growing away out in the sunshine (?) and I've been potting them on. Question...what size pot should I be aiming at for the 'last pot.'  :wacko:
Carpe Diem

Mine are in 12 inch pots.  I worry about them not having enough room to spread!  ;)

Sky's the limit  :)  I think though you do need to pot up rather than just go  for a big pot to start with.  Some of mine are already in 12" pots.  I look for the bigger of my pots and aim for those (the size they sell trees in at the garden centre)

However not all chillies are equal!  Some chilli plants are very SMALL INDEED and so you can keep them in a smaller pot quite happily. Check what your seed packet tells you is their final size, or google to find out and to see a picture

Growing chillies is really good fun, I love em   :D
