I’m still learning how to grow these well, I pretty sure I killed 4 of my topsy Turvy Jalapeños, but my Plant bed jalapeños are doing great…any tips?

I was honestly surprised something grew myself. Since it’s our first attempt we bought at HD when they were around 4inches. It’s south facing and under a shader since we’re in AZ. I water every other day and added granular fertilizer a month ago. No real tips or tricks that I’ve learned yet. Also use a moisture meter.

I think that’s what I need

#### Amy replied on 2025-04-25

It helps calm our natural instinct to want to keep watering haha especially in a raised garden bed where the water can’t disperse or drain out
