Question:  
I bought these ornamental peppers today and have them on my covered front porch. It gets around 5 hours of sun a day. Will these be ok? I have them in planter boxes with lots of drainage.

Veggies typically need 6 hours to 8 hours of direct sunlight to thrive. Put it on a south or west facing location, if possible 🪴🍀
