Inside. I just got it last week from Home Depot but it didn't come with the directions so I just googled them and it said to water 3-4 times a week which is what I did this week but the soil is so dry and the leaves are limp. I don't know how much I should be watering it.

Hot pepper gang we out here
got jalapenos, habanero, ghost peppers, and some cayenne's that will be flowering pretty soon. Only got one jalapeno last year and my other ones had a magnesium deficiency so I'm determined not to fukk this years up. What type of fertilizer do you use? I've heard some good things about Fox Farms trio so I might give those a go this time around.I live in south texas and I have some mint leaves growing now. It hasn't been as hot as it usually is this time of year but I still water almost everyday. A good rule of thumb is to stick your finger in the soil about an inch or two deep and if it's dry give it water. If it's still kind of moist water it lightly or leave it until the next day. Mine are outside though so you can probably get away with watering every two days.

Did you leave it in the original pot thing it came in? That soil is probably tapped out. Buy a cheap ceramic pot and a small bag of potting soil and transfer it to a new soil and pot. I assume it is getting light on the regular.

I havent found a prob with mints having too much water. keep that in mind for the future. Depending on the type of mint it is you should be able to take the healthiest stalk you can find and put it in a waterbottle on your windowsill and start "water propagation" of it. This will clone the mint and later once you havea good amount of roots you can repot it in some healthier soil.
I got some butternut squash from the grocery store coming up really nice. First time Ive grown something this large, the first seedling leaves came out the size of the first digit of my thumb! Im experimenting this year trying ti adapt some plants to container gardening for those of us who rent or live in apartments. Got some amaranth growing
really well, leaves taste like spinach.
We gonna have a really great green summer yall!
Lets keep it going

Man you must get some good peppers in that heat. I don't remember the brand of fertilizer I use but it has mycorrhiza which are fungi that grow on plant roots and help them absorb nutrients. It has worked good for almost 10 years with me.

You growing squash indoors
Bro, I hope you know how large those things get. I mean they can be 3-5 feet across only counting the leaves when they get growing.

You growing squash indoors
I have no idea what im doing, only starting the seeds. Thanks for this though I actually did not know how big the leaves got. Im going to have to give them to someone else to grow who has a yard and eat off our efforts. What you are saying makes me very excited. Ill give it to someone or sell the starter later, definitely see how big i can get it in my lil apt tho
