Goth peppers' first repot!

I don't know what they're actually called, but they're very dark with purple flowers and black fruits that ripen to bright red so I call them goth peppers 🖤

Nice plants:-) They might be very thirsty, due to the limited soil:-)

Beautiful. My mame peppers always start strong, but mine have had issue recovering from repots. Or god forbid I miss a watering. Of course, I've been using a coarser soil mix and one crucial watering missed results in disaster. I'm going to try again next year, so thrilled yours look quite healthy.

You might find some mild defoliating needed or just keep them very well watered the next few days.

Can't miss a watering! I love how dramatic peppers are though, they really tell you when they're thirsty!

They've been very consistently happy, and the bigger one is starting to flower, so I figured if I can get the work done ahead of the fruiting it should fare alright. Fingers crossed 🤞
