Peppers love wet soil. As long as it is drained. They do well with heavier watering than tomato. The risk of growing in pots is that you will let them dry out, and that will really kill production. Even one severe drying event can dramatically reduce growth and production.

Aji Amarillo Grande can probably get 3-4 ft tall and 3 ft in diameter.

Baby Aji gets about 3 feet tall and 3 feet in diameter.

I will be curious to hear about how the Aji Amarillo you got in a trade compares to Aji Amarillo Grande.

I am growing Baby Aji Amarillo and Aji Amarillo Grande from Artisan, and Aji Amarillo from a trade.
