I don't stake them, but I cut a bunch of my tomato cages, (which are 4' tall
pieces of fencing formed in a circle) in half and put them over peppers,
sometimes 2 to a cage, because it they get a really lot of peppers on them
sometimes they want to fall over.

I don't. My pepper plants usually get large enough to be small
bushes. Putting two seeds together would make a mess of twisted
branches. Plus the ventilation would be decreased, which would
increase the chances of a mold or mildew.

Hi,

Do you stake your pepper plants? This year I'll be planting habanero,
jalapeno, serrano, cayenne, pablano, garden salsa, banana, and bell peppers.


I've never staked pepper plants. The cheap little tomato
cages someone else suggested in this thread would be an
excellent idea though.

Last year a couple of my pepper plants did want to fall down
- they were growing in pots next to our deck railing, so I
tied them to one of the uprights.
