You're welcome. I use 12-12-12 applied once a month, about a teaspoon per plant. If you have decent soil, they really don't require much. If you live in the south, make sure your plants are positioned to get some partial shade. They have a large leaf area and transpire greatly. This causes wilting under full hot sun that can result in leaf and blossom drop. I also use a soil pH of 6.5. Hope this helps! -Jim Campbell http://www.wildpepper.com
