How to fertilize Anaheim Pepper

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Anaheim Pepper after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

I’m noticing some brown/black spots on a few of my leafs on my Adehime Pepper Plant. It’s been inside for a while now, for the winter. Today i poke the soil as I check for water, like normally. And I take her outside so I can water her, and I noticed she has a few brown/black spots on 3-4 leaf’s. First thought that came to my head was a disease, could someone help! This is my only pepper plant I grew from seed in the summer of 2022. On the plus side she has gave me so much growth even while being inside. The last picture is all the growth from when I brought her inside for the winter* #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PlantTherapy #PetsAndPlants #PestControl #OutdoorGrowing #pepperplant

Surprise pepper-plant stewardship; now what? So several months back I noticed my Stella had a new friend, and now Terra (named today) is taller than both Stella and Stella's two pups (not shown). I want to do right by all parties, but I have never even considered growing my own #Capsicum -- I believe this was a ridealong from Stella's nursery -- and I'm lost. Let them cohabit? Add them to today's repotting queue? Invest in trellis futures? All advice very welcome.

My indoor ornamental Peperomia plant was a foot from an east window. When Greg told me to give it a half cup of water this morning I saw all the leaves wilted! What should I do? I’m afraid it will die. I’m following their instructions. #Capsicum

The plant’s leaves look curly in the edge, and in a weird shape. Any ideas? #Capsicum

☀️ Sunlight Needs
Anaheim Pepper requires abundant, bright and direct light. Place it less than one foot from a window to ensure it receives enough light to survive 💪. Select your region to see how the current weather in your area affects the placement in your home 🏡.
🐶 🐈 👶 Toxicity
Greg does not have confirmed data on this plant’s toxicity. If you, a family member, or a pet consumes plant material of unknown toxicity, it’s always best to consult a medical professional.
If you or someone else ingested this plant, call Poison Control at US (800) 222-1222. If a pet consumed this plant, contact your veterinarian or the ASPCA at US (888) 426-4435.
💨 Humidity
Anaheim Pepper doesn’t require additional humidity. Plants absorb most water through their root system rather than their leaves, so the best way to provide humidity for your plants is through watering the soil.
🪴 Soil
Anaheim Pepper does best in well-draining soil. A good soil will contain lots of organic matter such as coco coir as well as perlite or vermiculite to help with drainage. Adding a handful of perlite to regular store-bought potting soil should do the trick!
💩 Fertilizer
Anaheim Pepper is a fast growing plant and may deplete the nutrients in its soil over time. Replenish them with a gentle organic fertilizer or compost every 1-2 months depending on your location and season. Fertilize more often during the growing season and in warmer and brighter climates.
🌎 Native Region
Anaheim Pepper is native to the Americas.
🧐 Troubleshooting
When troubleshooting a sad-looking houseplant, start by checking for signs of distress in its leaves, such as yellowing, browning, or drooping, which can indicate overwatering or nutrient deficiencies.
Inspect the soil moisture; too dry or too wet soil can cause problems.
Ensure the plant is getting the right amount of light, as too much or too little can stress it.
Finally, consider environmental factors like temperature and humidity, and adjust care routines accordingly to revive your plant.
