Plant spacing depends on individual variety

AKA Plant Habit.

I grew a white habanero that the canopy
was 3 1/2 ft dia.

Plant spacing also makes a difference in the humidity  of your micro clim.
In humid areas to subject your plants to diseases, with close
spacing.  In humid area's, I think you are better off leaving a little
room for air flow between the plants.
Just my experience with over 50 years of growing

Hi all,

I am planting about 10 various varieties of chiles such as anahiem,
poblano,
etc. this year and was wondering the optimal spacing in the garden for
best
production?  I plant in raised beds about 4 feet wide in good loamy
soil.
What would you recommend for center to center planting?  I have been
usingabout 16 inches between plants,  but read somewhere 12 inches was
satisfactory.  The seed packets generally say 18".

And do you all mulch your plants?

Thanks,  Janet
