Banana peppers do well in pots, but can also be directly planted in the garden if you are in a warmer zone in the deep south, anywhere free of freeze. You can start pepper plants indoors about 8-10 weeks before the last frost, transplanting into pots after. Seeds should be lightly covered with soil (¼ in to ½ in) and kept moist until germination. If transplanting into the garden space plants 18″ inches apart in rows 24″ inches apart or more. Always water plants thoroughly after transplanting, both into pots and the garden.
Fruit will be ready when they are about 6-7 inches long.
As the peppers develop, switch over to a fertilizer higher in Phosphorous and Potassium as opposed to nitrogen.
