Hi there. Don't understand. Are you concerned that the plant has not produced peppers when planting or transferring outside. I planted my peppers directly outside. I just had to enclosed it in a vented container with an opening at the top to protect it from direct sunlight. A few weeks later it will outgrow the container and should start producing peppers.

Maybe too much nitrogen...heathy plant with no fruit is usually a sign of to much nitrogen ...this Season on a recommendation of the hot pepper forum starting using miracle grow TOMATOE mix ..Multitudes of flowers and one warm day fruit .... It works .....

I am not sure what 'still nothing means. My plants are growing well. It will take a while for them to flower, and then fruits. If you planted them in March, and still no flowers, there is some problem ( probably with the soil).

It will take a while for them to grow. I've had mine for many weeks. Kept them inside in a window to make them stronger before putting them outside. I put them out last week they have gotten slightly larger but won't produce peppers (from last years experience) for quite some time. Be patient.

I simply sprayed it on and let it work. I will re-spray some areas this Spring. It does take patience (some six months) to see results.

Can't help you with this one. I sprayed it on when the lawn was dry and then the sprinklers come on the following day and watered it in. That said, the stuff works, it's just a little pricey. I would recommend you strictly follow the directions and not over-dose.

Like the previous comment, I watered the bag (sides) more than anything. The center stayed moist most the time, it was the outer area that needed watering mostly. And it wasn't a daily thing, 2 - 3 days. It depends on your climate. I live in Oklahoma where it is typically very dry.

You mix 2-3 tablespoons per gallon of water and pour on the ground around the base of the plant. I wouldn't use a whole gallon around just one plant. Prorate it based on how much water you would normally give the plant that day. If your plants show signs of stress, as in the leaves turning yellow, wait a week and use it again. I did this for 4 weeks in a row, and when my plants looked healthy again I cut back to once a month or more. I also had my dirt tested and found that it was nitrogen dificient, so this was perfect for me. If your plants aren't healthy, you should always have your dirt tested, since too much of a good thing is bad as well. Any local nursery should be able to test it for you.

I thoroughly watered first, but I had effective drainage. Mine were more or less dry when they arrived.

Mine has not only not improved it is barely alive. It is watered, has full sun and is planted where other plants are thriving. If it does not improve, I will sent it back.

Wait 6 weeks from the date you put down the starter fertilizer. Then apply. Be careful not to get it on concrete. It leaves a rust stain.

How long have you waited? For the first time it may take up to 15 minutes for it to actually start doing "something". Also, if it is still not working, try adding a pinch of salt to the water. It maybe that your water doesn't have enough salts in it.

Soak it in some water and lay it out in the sun for a while. When water is put into it it will swell up with no problem. I put mine around tomatoe plants and that's what I do. Also I've had problems with sand plugging it, so this year I'm going to put some grass mulch down before putting it in my garden.

Maybe its frozen. Allow it to melt. I usally run hot water over it. It tends to become soild in colder weather.

I just used a small pot with some regular potting soil in it. Planted three seeds, two sprouted, and one has lasted long enough to get a few leaves on it. My water is pretty hard and the soil is a little on the dense side, which may have contributed to the slow growth rate. But the one that has survived is about 2 inches now (one-two months).

Potted mine too in about 3ft dia pot and it was outside over last summer and took well. I live on coast in VA. But then we had a bad rain storm and I didn't get it drained well enough and think root rot set in. It's been in house all winter and I mist it regularly but not sure it's surviving. If it's still seems viable when whether warms I think I should dig up and put rocks in bottom for drainage (there were holes in pot but I'd set it in a pan in house just after bad rain and didn't realize pan was full as I kept watering....stupid!) anyway, my thumb is green with 'easy' house plants and this poor guy (we named him Larry) has kept me in turmoil. I read it's fine to pot but not sure where I went wrong exactly. Hope this helps and I'd love any advice from anyone else!

I also used Miracle Grow Potting mix and have repotted to larger once. So far it appears to be low maintance just watering a couple times a week.

I've had mine for about 4 mos and it is a great plant, however needs a lot of attention. Recommend that you don't put it outside right away as it will die in extreme climate changes. I would put it where it's mildly warm and move it back and forth from outside to inside for a good month and then have it outside for longer periods of time until you know it can handle the heat and humidity. Mine didn't like the hot outdoors so had to bring it inside for longer periods of time. It is too late in the season to have it outside so I will wait until Spring/Summer to try to have it planted outside permanently.

I must say, I was disappointed in my plant. Grew plenty of green but only 3 flowers. They do not like drought. They like moist soil and humidity and don't even begin to bloom until there are warm nights. I live in southern California in an area that has cool nights. I also planted it as a hanging basket, so that may have been the problem. Contact Renee's Gardens. She will help you as she is the one selling the seeds
