spring for more peppers over the summer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow fast do habanero plants grow?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Habanero plants will grow quickly in the warmer weather. Plant new seedlings that are 2-3 inches high in the spring and in two weeks they will double in size. By the end of spring these plants can reach their full height of anywhere from 12-20 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The plant will start producing flowers once it has established and the weather warms up. Habanero peppers will be ready to pick 10-12 weeks after you plant the seedling. They can keep producing peppers throughout the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keep picking the peppers once they ripen to encourage it to continue to grow flowers and peppers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can you grow habanero plants in pots?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Habanero peppers can be grown successfully in pots. Choose a pot that is around 12 inches deep by 12 inches wide to give the plant a chance to grow a large healthy root system. The roots of the habanero will grow a similar size to the height of the plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fill the pot with good quality potting soil and place it in a sunny spot in spring. Water the plant 2-3 times per week over spring and increase this in summer as the weather heats up. You may need to water a habanero pepper every second day. Pots can heat up quickly in the summer and dry out so check the soil regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How much sun do habanero plants need?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Habanero plants will thrive in full sun growing taller and producing more peppers over the summer season. These plants are not frost tolerant so wait until later in spring to plant them out if you live in a frost prone area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Habanero plants that get more sun will grow a large, balanced coverage of leaves which will help to balance the plant when it sets fruit. Plant that get uneven sunlight can lean towards the sun and cause it to grow larger on one side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If this happens, place a small stake in against the stem of the plant to hold it upright and prevent the stems from breaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
