[QUOTE="Cohiba, post: 3365788, member: 2550"] gmar..........Potting Mix...not potting soil....potting mix. Potting mix is a "loose' and "airy" type soil that doesn't compact and hold water in the soil. After I plant the pepper, I sprinkle 1 cap full(from the bottle) of osmocote on top of the soil around the plant...the green label for flowers and vegetables. Use a large...5 gallon bucket size pot or even a five gallon bucket...if you're putting it in a pot. Make sure the pot or bucket has no more than two "Penny Nail" size holes in the bottom. I water...but my plant is on my front porch in 70-80% sunlight..[B]I water no more than every two days. I make sure it has been watered thoroughly BUT it drains very well!! [/B]Again..this is in a pot and when it's windy I put it in the front porch doorway so the wind won't damage it. I use to plant peppers in a garden and had a variety but not anymore. I planted them under some large oak trees so the were in semi-direct sunlight and really used my "scientific knowledge" to grow them ...fertilizer, pruning, epsom salt, stress the plant with lack of water to produce hotter peppers...etc. YouTube is an EXCELLENT source and I wish it was around back in the 1980's when I was a fanatic with peppers. Grow it and have fun!!! Little history lesson: Ever notice how pepper and chili are used alot...as in chili pepper?? When ol' Christopher Columbus was searching for a direct/shorter route to India and other places, one of the spices he wanted was pepper...as in pepper corn/black pepper. Well ol' Chris didn't make it to India and other points he was looking for ...he landed in the New World and they grew..the Chili. I guess when he ate a CHILI the heat reminded him of a... PEPPER. Now days the two words are used separately or together [/QUOTE]
