I agree with Cathy on this. I'm not a big cayenne fan. But have
grown them anyway every year I have had a garden. In my first
gardening attempt I planted some in spot with bad soil and lighting.
And they still did well. They probably grown anywhere. All the
cayenne's I have grown never seemed to get that wide. I find you can
space them closer than most peppers. Where as, alot of other peppers
seem to get wider (bushy). This year is the first time I have tried
to grow some Thai's. All ready they seem to be getting pretty wide.
I got a feeling in the end of the summer they might just become shrubs
like some Jamaican Red Scotch Bonnets I grew last year. Man those
things were huge.
With this in mind I would probably repot both the habanero and the
Thai in a buckets by them self. I could be wrong on the size of the
Thai, but it probably wouldn't mind being alone. If you want to repot
the cayenne go ahead but I think it will do fine where it is.
