Ich bekam diesen Innengarten, also fing ich an, 5 Gewürze und 3 Paprika anzubauen. Die Gewürze sind alle ziemlich gute Größen dafür (vielleicht außer dem Basilikum), aber diese Paprika scheinen nicht genug Platz zu haben. Es sind Paprika, Jalapeños und Poblanos. Sie haben die Spitze erreicht und einige kippen irgendwie über. Hat noch jemand Erfahrung mit diesen Arten von Innengärten gehabt und später seine Pflanzen herausgezogen? Kann ich sie verlassen oder sollte ich sie absolut herausnehmen? Super neu im Garten. Danke!!

For the poblano, I would toss that one entirely. Those plants get very tall, in my experience. The jalapeno will grow in there, but you may need to support it and let it grow around the water reservoir. The bell pepper will maybe produce something, itll mostly depend on your fertilization.
You can transplant them outside in the little hydroponic thing that drops in to the water reservoir. The plant may be a bit restricted due to the plastic, and you’ll want to be sure you locate and recycle that at the end of the gardening season. Lastly, when ready to transplant, you’ll need to harden your plants off to the outdoor environment – wind, variable temperatures, direct sun exposure, UV damage, etc. just take it slow and you’ll be ok. Good luck! 🙂
Those small countertop setups are better for herbs, one or two heads of lettuce ,or specific dwarf strains of plants. For big plants like peppers, it CAN be done but you must do a lot of heavy and strategic pruning and training so that they stay underneath the light and stay compact and usually one plant per setup or else the other plants will compete for light and nutrients and you’ll end up with a big jungle but don’t worry it’s a very common occurrence especially for beginners ( I also had this problem with my setup).
You have a few options:
-Just use that setup for the herbs and scrap the pepper plants altogether
-Scrap the herbs and choose ONE of the peppers to grow after some pruning and maybe using soft ties to make sure everything is under the light (this is essentially what I did for my setup)
-Try to move the peppers to soil then “harden them off” by gently exposing them to outside little by little until they get used to the elements. This is a hard option because transferring plants from hydro to soil is difficult because the plant goes through a shock (they were used to getting nutrients directly from the water and have to adjust to using soil for nutrients) that can last weeks but you have to be patient (trust me I know from experience and some of my plants ended up dying but I’m not saying YOU won’t have better success)
-Scrap EVERYTHING and start all three peppers in there but move them to soil when they’re much younger (like two sets of true leaves). This way is a ~little~ difficult but not as difficult as when you transfer them when they’re older
I am also new to gardening so this is just my two cents based on my experience. In r/hydroponics they told me that I should look up Khang Starr on YouTube and he has a lot of information about growing in those countertop setups so def look him up if you wanna keep any of those peppers on the counter. Happy gardening friend! 😁
