Jalapenos in Pots

[okellies]

I bought two jalapeno plants from my nursery and they are in the same pot. I live in the Northeast (like you). I have soooo many of them now. They just grew! I just put potting soil in the pot, and water them. There have been a few days when I forgot to water them, but they are resilient and have produced lots of beautiful, green guys .

I think my pot is about the same size as yours as well.

Individual pots will lead to more yields in my experience.

Let peppers dry out, they don't like a lot of water and they LOVE heat and sun. Don't use the Top soil is dry rule, go further than that. Just be attentive and you'll see whats going on.

If your worried about animals protect it but I found critters/animals stay away from my peppers.
