How far apart do you plant your peppers?

The spacing of pepper plants depends on the variety and growth habit. Here are general guidelines for spacing pepper plants:

- Bell peppers (Capsicum annuum): Space bell pepper plants 18 to 24 inches (45-60 cm) apart in rows 24 to 36 inches (60-90 cm) apart.

- Chili peppers (Capsicum annuum): Space chili pepper plants 12 to 18 inches (30-45 cm) apart in rows 24 to 36 inches (60-90 cm) apart.

- Cayenne peppers (Capsicum annuum): Space cayenne pepper plants 18 to 24 inches (45-60 cm) apart in rows 24 to 36 inches (60-90 cm) apart.

- Jalapeno peppers (Capsicum annuum): Space jalapeno pepper plants 18 to 24 inches (45-60 cm) apart in rows 24 to 36 inches (60-90 cm) apart.

- Serrano peppers (Capsicum annuum): Space serrano pepper plants 12 to 18 inches (30-45 cm) apart in rows 24 to 36 inches (60-90 cm) apart.

These spacing recommendations provide enough room for the plants to grow and spread without overcrowding. However, it's essential to consider the specific growing conditions and the variety of pepper you are growing. Some varieties may require more or less space depending on their growth habit. It's also a good idea to consult local gardening experts or refer to specific planting instructions for the pepper variety you have chosen.
