How to fertilize Hot Cayenne Pepper

Nutrient, fertilizer, and repotting needs for Hot Cayenne Pepper: repot after 2X growth

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 Hot Cayenne Pepper after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Plant has brown at the edge of leaf So I was going out to water my plant this morning and I noticed that there was brown on a lot of the edges of my leaves. Does it have too much sun? Am I over watering it? I don’t know what to do. It has a little jalapeño on it, and I don’t want to kill it! #JalapeñoPepper #helpneeded #PlantsMakePeopleHappy
