Pot for chillies: which one?

This operation is called repotting. It is recommended when the plant has reached a certain germination. The size of the jar will follow the growth of chili and will change gradually .

The repotting operation is carried out not only once, but at least 4 times:

1. Seedbed.
2. Vase with a diameter of 9 cm.
3. Pot diameter 14-20 cm
4. Definitive vessel

Since the chili has a slow growth is sown in a greenhouse and then around May -June is put out on the ground.

For those who leave the pepeoncino in the pots you have to evaluate well the type of seed that plants to better adapt the pot.( fourth phase).

Chili generates many roots so it needs a lot of soil.

You should buy pots based on the liters of water they can contain so as not to confuse the liters that a jar can contain and its size in centimeters.

The table below will help to better understand, there will be a comparison: how much a total of liters that a vessel can contain correspond to its diameter in cm:

A pot suitable for this type of repotting is the anti-spiralization pot that allows the roots to grow without making the "ball" and ensures a good perspiration and oxygenation of the soil.

For those who want to create a spicy corner at home is preferable the one with a diameter of 33 cm.
