Hello everyone,
I'm new to peppers and I planted some seeds in a egg carten thing and they have sprouted I was just wondering when I'm supose to replant them. One is about 1 1/2 in' tall.
Thanks

I will say this - most peppers come from arid or semi-arid climates originally, so the roots will DIVE for whatever water they can find.
For this reason, a fairly tall pot is best if they have to be indoors for any length of time, else the roots hit the bottom of the pot and coil around.
Be sure it is plenty warm enough for them outside before hardening them off - peppers are very temperature sensitive as a rule.
