Q&A – Do I need to fertilize my container peppers or is the potting soil enough?
Question:
Do I need to fertilize my container peppers or is the potting soil enough?
Answer:
Many potting soils come with fertilizer in them. University of Memphis Director of Landscape Joellen Dimond says that will last a few months. You can supplement if you would like. She warns to not put too much fertilizer on the plant because you want the plant to fruit. If there is too much nitrogen fertilizer the peppers will grow foliage not fruit.
