I had this very cool Jabba the Hutt tiki mug that I decided to re-purpose as a small planter. I never use it so I thought it would make a unique planter for one of my pepper plants that I wanted to save from the winter.
I know this container is very small for a pepper plant, but I’ll compensate for the small container size by pruning. Basically I’ll treat it like a bonsai pepper. The only difference is that I won’t be pruning the roots. I’ll only be pruning the actual pepper plant.
I’m not expecting a super high yield from this, it’s just a fun experiment to see how much I can get away with when growing a pepper plant in a small container.
The pepper in this video is a Carolina Reaper.
Let me know in the comments some unique containers that you’ve used for your plants.
