Ok, me and my family are not good at plants and I'm trying to fix this.
We had a bundle of plants that we were keeping indoors under a grow light during the winter. Between the 2 lemon tree saplings, 2 strawberry plants, aloe vera, and jalepeno
The only survivors was 1 lemon tree and the aloe vera. The jalapeno almost made it but I think it was just dying slower than the strawberries.
Saw some plants at the local hardware store, and their "Mammoth Jalapeno" caught my eye because it looked big enough that it could weather some mistreatment better than a young plant.
2 questions for those more experienced than I though.
Firstly, can I just plant this new plant in the same soil the dead jalapeno is in (It's a mix of potting soil + some other kind of soil that these plants supposedly liked), or is there something else I should be aware of?
And should I put a stake or something into the pot and tie the stem with some twine to encourage it to grow upright? It's got a major lean in it (Not visible from this pic, I assume it's because this plant was on the back of the shelf and was growing outwards towards the sun)
