What fertilizer should I use on hot pepper plants ,south florida?
If any, use a general fertilizer while it is young. The package will be labeled with 3 numbers called the npk rating x-x-x. A general fertilizer will be labeled 5-5-5 or 10-10-10, indicating equal amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Most fruiting plants enjoy a high-potash fertilizer once fruiting begins. A high potash fertilizer will be labeled something like 4-4-12, with two smaller numbers first and a large number last. Just follow the package directions with how much and how often to apply. I always suggest organic, especially if you are going to be eating the peppers.
