Q: Dave,

I want to grow purple jalapenos in pots out doors.  Can you tell me what size pot I need, and how many plants I can plant in one pot? 

Thanks,

Gabe

 

A: Hello Gabe:

Generally speaking, the larger the pot, the better.  This is because the roots can fill the pot, creating a large plant with more yield.  Also, you don’t have to water the larger pots as often.  Go with at least a 5-gallon pot, and no more than two plants per pot.
