| Hello everyone! So I have had these pepper seeds/seedlings for about a month and a half to two months now, and they were grown from seeds. I have been making sure that they get at least 6-7 hours of sun per day, but it's usually around 8. I'm also making sure that they're getting watered regularly, to which I was instructed by another fellow member to water them once the soil is almost all dry (to the bottom). I also placed sticks for them to grab onto because they are getting new leaves growing from the middle. But now, they're withering! I don't know what I'm doing wrong! Any help is appreciated! Thanks so much  (Also sorry that the pictures are so terrible, but it's cloudy at my house today. I will hopefully get better pictures tomorrow.)    Love is patient and love is kind. Always be loving and kind to one another. (Abridged from 1Cor. 13:4) Let’s talk about Animal Fun Facts, Birds, Trees/Shrubs, or Oleanders! |

| Even a cactus needs more water than that. Give them a drink! Why is your container only half full of soil?

| Oh, that's good to know! I figured that because they're vines they grabbed. So thanks for telling me about that! Also, yes I will definitely give them a drink! When I was watering them 1-2 times a week, a member said I was water logging them so I freaked out 😬 And the way the picture is taken it looks like the pot is only halfway full, but it's 3/4 filled with soil.

| Need more light hours and water. My seedlings get 14 to 16 hours of Fluorrsecnt ( crap where is spell. check when you need it) light per day. Peppers are not vines. i'm pretty OK today, how are you? ;^) |

Whoever that member was, please think twice about their advice from now on...Hmmm, I hope it wasn't me.  Why didn't you put soil to the top?

| Ahhh I am sorry for that misunderstanding from me. EDIT: actually upon looking at the old article, I don't know if it was me or the other guy. Either way, I apologize for not being clearer. |

| @DaisyI: I guess I just figured the seeds couldn't handle it before they were actual plants, because bigger pots carry more water. @SoulReaver009: Apology accepted.
