My Wife planted some Capsium pepper seeds after cooking A meal.?
We are now the proud owners of several plants in bloom and fruit.The trouble is they have become crowded in their pots and I am unsure as to what to do,any other tips would be helpful as well because we have never grown them before.
They are currently on my living room window in full sun.
Answers:
Like the others I would repot them. The largest size of a container they will ever need would be like the size of a gallon of paint or large coffee ground can.
Pinch off the blooms after you repot so the plant can put energy into growing a stronger root and stem structure before trying to fruit.
However, I'm not certain where you live but here in the Mountain areas, fall is on it's way and unless your in the far south or have a grow light on them inside, you might not get much out of them. I understand they are doing well in the window right now but as the days get shorter the plants might not get enough sun in the long run.
When the plants start to flower again I would also consider getting a few Q-tips and pollentating the flowers. Just take the Q-tip and gently put one tip ino the flower and then dip into other flowers, etc. Normally bees do this job of pollenation, so you might want to help it along a bit.
Also, a woord to the wise. Unless this was a non hybrid pepper, you most likely will not get the same pepper from the seed as you did from the store. Most of the produce sold in traditional grocery stores and even some organic grocery stores are hybrids and the parent seed will not produce the same offspring.
For example, I love Grape tomatoes, but I can not save the seed from this tomatoe and replant it. If I would, I would get some genetic revert to the plants that this tomato was crossed with either the super cherry or a roma, but not a grape tomato again.
(Just FYI - so you don't spend to much time, effort and money on these volunteer seeds unless you are certain that it's a non hybrid seed.)
Repot them into single pots. When repotting you should go for a pot only half inch bigger, this way the plant doesn't spend to long growing roots but more time producing fruit. Tomato food might be good for them too.
just get some more pots and remove some plants out and replant.
hope this site helps

Separate them in other pots, take them to local car boot sale/flee market and try and sell them.
RE-POT AND TRIM SOME OF THE LEAVES OFF. FEED THEM AND THEY SHOULD BE FINE.

Did she plant cooked seeds?!!!!
really?you have obtain a plant from cooking seeds??!!!
I am not she if she planted them after she cooked the capsicum. if it's so it should not have germinated in the first place. Well, since you already have them blooming and some with fruits, you can take out some of them so that others have sufficient room for growth and to have healthy fruits. You may try to transplant the ones that you have removed from the pot to another pot if you have one, or transplant them on a bed in the garden if you have.
As with any planting where the plants/seeds all sprout thin out the weaker plants move them to separate pots. The larger and more vibrant plants will thrive. Use inexpensive pots for the thinned plants and let them grow. Fertilize them regularly and prune and shape them. They will make excellent gifts especially if they are bearing colorful fruit.
