How big a pot?
« on: July 06, 2006, 13:30:46 »
Does anyone know what size pot my Chillis and Sweet Peppers should ideally be in?

They are in a variety ranging from 4" upwards at the moment.

I reckon about 15 - 20cm for chilli peppers and like Tel, at least 30cm for sweet peppers.

A lot depends upon the variety as some plants can grow to 3ft-4ft high where others grow only to 12" high.

As an idea my 12" high variety is in a 6" pot and my 3ft variety is in a 12" pot

At the moment I am doing a bit of a trial with around half a dozen chilli varieties. I showed a picture of them in the article I placed in the 'gallery' forum. You will see the pot sizes I am using in there.
