Your Step-by-Step Growing Guide:
Choose the Perfect Sunny Spot:
Ensure your chosen location receives 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily, essential for pepper growth.
Prep Your Grocery Bags:
Reinforce the bags for durability. Cut a small hole at the bottom for the bottle and seedling.
Build a Strong Support Structure:
Erect a wooden frame or trellis capable of holding the weight of your upside-down pepper plants.
Ready Your Plastic Bottle Planter:
Insert the chili pepper seedling through the neck of the bottle, then fill it with soil, leaving room at the top.
Place the Bottle in the Bag:
Invert the bottle, guiding the seedling through the bag's bottom hole, securing the bottle inside.
Utilize Banana Peels for Potassium:
Add banana peels to the planter for a slow-release potassium source.
Enrich with Fish and Phosphate Fertilizer:
Apply fish emulsion or remains and phosphate fertilizer to boost flowering and root strength.
Regular Watering Regime:
Maintain moist soil, with excess water draining from the bag's bottom.
Maintenance and Harvesting:
Monitor and Prune:
Watch for robust growth, pruning to encourage fuller plants and more peppers.
Consistent Care:
Regularly water and fertilize throughout the season.
Harvest Time:
Pick the peppers as they mature and change color.
