what are the white dots in the last photo? do they actually move?
I'm not a fan of potted plants outdoors even indoors you get enough issues with spider mites and those black or white flies that invade your plants and suck out the sap.
I used to put mine on the balcony during the sunlight years back, came to move my chilli plant back indoors and something had laid like 60 eggs in a really nice tight pattern on the underside of one of the leaves lol..
that was the last time I thought it was even worth it.
Here's mines, been adding more compost as they grow, not sure how deep you can plant pepper plants though, so I will have to google that. I was also going to kill the smallest pepper plant in each of the two pots but I might just split them whilst I probably still can
I checked my bank statement the other day to check when I actually bought the compost and seeds and I think it was the 14th or 16th of April so I guess mine aren't doing too bad.
for like the last week they've just been sat in a cardboard box with a 1600 lumen desklamp on them for 12hours a day or however long I stayed awake though.
which is probably better than they would have done in full sun since they are so small the suns heat would probably almost kill them.
I will start putting them in my balcony window from 9am to 5pm though which is how long the sun hits that area for, then move them back under a light until I go to sleep to give them that extra boost.
bought a small fan on ebay to try and stiffen them up a bit simulating a nice breeze
I think it was like £2.50 or something crazy cheap like that but came from the UK.
it's actually a lot louder than I expected but does push a fairly decent amount of air
the blades are made of rubber and as you can see they are fairly chunky, with thinner stiffer blades it would likely be better.
but it does the job and was cheap (cables stiff btw you can bend it to whatever angle you want)
