don’t over water, limit nitrogen and don’t plant hot peppers beside sweet.

three mistakes you need to avoid when planting Peppers one after you plant them don’t over water them you need to consistently water them number two don’t give them a whole lot of nitrogen give them something like a three six six or two twelve twelve and number three don’t plant them close too close together with another variety because they will cross pollinate hey followers for more content

  1. 1. How much is too much, and what's consistent iyo. 2. Its up for debate in the ever ending internet debates. 3. Unless your planning to sell the seeds, why is crosspollination an issue its not. Thanx for 3 usless tips

  2. They only cross pollinate if your saving the seeds. Next gen will be a cross and the seeds on this current season. Not your current crop. If all you doin is eating them it don't matter what grows near what

  3. I had a friend who purposely grew his hatch chile alongside jalapeño plants. His green chile was always super hot as a result

  4. "Cross pollination contamination" makes a lot of sense. I've ordered food that came with grilled jalapeños, and sometimes it's mild, almost like bell peppers. And other times, they were so damn not, they had to have been contaminated with ghost peppers.

  5. I think I've done all of those things 😂. I'm not sure about the fertilizer. It's old , I don't think it matters. I know I lost some tags and I know I've planted a couple of different ones close together , but they all look healthy. 😂

  6. I mixed in a couple handfuls of worm castings and a tbsp of Dr. earth 4-6-3 per plant when I transplanted. They did well at first then started losing color til they were close to yellow They look better now. I still have a couple inside that are in bigger pots than the others got started in but need to be transplanted soon. I’m very new to gardening so any advice would be appreciated.

  7. I definitely believe i gave them too much nitrogen, is it too late to correct it? Because the plants are just getting bigger not producing enough flowers
