Peppers like to be mistreated. Hot miserable temps, under watered, and less nutes. Ive had great luck putting a bunch of plants in a 10 gallon air pot.

If you have a compost you can break up your root balls there, with leaves, grass clippings, and a few turns you can "recycle" your old soil. It adds up quickly.

Thanks! I'll definitely put the peppers elsewhere next time... All of this was just thrown together just to see what would stick with the least amount of effort the first time..

I don't have compost, but I need to, so I'll try that eventually..
