How Do You Grow Indoor Banana Peppers?
Banana peppers have a passing resemblance to their namesake, the banana. They grow to 2 or 3 inches in length, are yellow and have a slight, banana-like curve. There are both hot and sweet varieties, and you can grow either in pots. Like all peppers, banana peppers require warmth and plenty of light to thrive, so they are usually grown outdoors in a summer garden. You can also grow these peppers in containers indoors as long as you provide them with substitutions for what nature supplies. Fill 3-inch diameter seedling pots with a fine-textured potting mix. Sow two banana pepper seeds per pot, planting them 1/4-inch deep. Fill a tray with 1 to 2 inches of water. Set the pots in the tray and leave them to absorb the water. Drain the excess water from the tray once the surface of the soil in the pots becomes moist, usually within an hour. Slide the pots into a plastic bag to help retain moisture during germination. Place the pots in a warm, 70-degree Fahrenheit room. Peppers require soil
