Plant spacing depends on individual variety
AKA Plant Habit.
I grew a white habanero that the canopy
was 3 1/2 ft dia.
Plant spacing also makes a difference in the humidity of your micro clim.
In humid areas to subject your plants to diseases, with close
spacing. In humid area's, I think you are better off leaving a little
room for air flow between the plants.
Just my experience with over 50 years of growing

Hi all,
I am planting about 10 various varieties of chiles such as anahiem,
poblano,
etc. this year and was wondering the optimal spacing in the garden for
best
production? I plant in raised beds about 4 feet wide in good loamy
soil.
What would you recommend for center to center planting? I have been
usingabout 16 inches between plants, but read somewhere 12 inches was
satisfactory. The seed packets generally say 18".
And do you all mulch your plants?
Thanks, Janet
