Number of pepper plants I can put in a container

robrpb · September 28, 2011

I am making two 18 gallon earthtainers. They are Rubbermaid containers. Can I put 4 pepper plants in each one or just 2? They are Lipstick and Carmen peppers. Thanks.

Should have no problem with 4.

I agree. I planted 2 peppers per 7 gal container this season and, even for the largest, that was more than enough room.

I'll plant 4 per container. Thanks for your help.
