Here’s the secret to growing peppers in plastic bottles and harvesting them all year round!

The cultivation of peppers in plastic bottles is an inexpensive and ecological method that allows you to enjoy these delicious vegetables all year round, even if you don’t have a garden. Follow these simple steps to grow your own peppers at home:

Materials required:

  • Empty and clean plastic bottles
  • Chili plants
  • Land or soil

Steps in the cultivation of peppers in plastic bottles:

1. First cut the plastic bottle in half, about a third of its height. Drill small holes at the bottom of the bottom to allow drainage.

2. Fill the lower part of the bottle with soil or soil up to about 2 cm from the top. Make sure the floor is well grounded.

3. Place your chilli plant in the bottle ensuring that it is well anchored in the ground. Add a little water to moisten.

4. Cover the upper part of the bottle with the lower half, leaving the neck open to allow air to circulate.

5. Place your pepper pot in a sunny place, sheltered from wind and weather. Make sure to water your plant regularly, but not overly humidify.

Tips for maintaining your peppers:

  • Make sure your chilli plants get enough natural light.
  • Water regularly, but let the soil dry between waterings to avoid excess moisture.
  • Add fertilizer once a month to promote the growth of your peppers.
  • Pinch the side shoots to stimulate fruit production.
