Any peppers that won't work in pots?

9 years ago

I can't leave them outside, so I'd like to know which ones I can grow in pots successfully to have them perennially. Or maybe easier, which ones don't work well in pots? I don't do super hots, but I have some nice arbol's and some thai's that are going to be ready to transplant before long. Also have an array in between all the way to mild bells. i have 12" and 17" terra cotta pots.

If they all should do OK in pots, then that simplifies things and I'll just decide which I want to keep later on.

Is this explained somewhere already? I'd be glad to read about it on my own.

Thank you!
Chris B.

Chris,

I think you can grow any of them in pots, the larger the better. Too bad you can't grow them outside with all your veggies. You can dig them up and pot them to overwinter them.

How is the lemongrass doing? I'm still interested if you've got extras.

I've stopped planting them in the ground and now use pots exclusively.
