Product Description
The Topsy Turvy Hot Pepper Planter is the best new invention ever for growing mouth-watering hot peppers! Topsy Turvy is the famous "upside down" planter, where gravity forces the water and nutrients to pour directly down from the root to the fruit. Featuring easy-to-use and efficient grow bag technology, it has 7 side ports for even bigger yield. Simply place your favorite Hot Pepper plant in the Topsy Turvy, add favorite potting soil, hang it up and water. Sun warms the plant like a greenhouse, the root system explodes and thrives inside the planter. No need for pesticides, digging or weeding - plus, hanging in the air eliminates ground fungus, harmful bacteria and cutworm damage. Grow favorites like Jalapeño, Cayenne, Habanera and more. Create fiery homemade sauces, fun new dips, guaranteed fresh organic seasonings!

The Topsy Turvy Hot Pepper Planter is very cool. It's the perfect option for those who wish to grow peppers without having an entire garden. I planted hot banana pepper plants in mine several weeks ago and mine still look very healthy and they are continuing to grow quite well.
However, it was rather difficult to get the new plants into the contraption without damaging them. You are supposed to squeeze them through the holes and anchor them in place and then fill the rest of the container with potting soil. I purchased the smallest plants that I could find at my local home improvement store but they were still too big to easily fit into the Topsy Turvy. I was forced to rip off some of the root and dirt and really squeeze them inside. I am surprised that they have survived considering the trauma that I probably put them through. It would be nice if there was an easier way to do this. I think next year I will grow my own plants from seed and then move them to the Topsy Turvy when they are much smaller.
I would also be sure to water it every day that it doesn't rain otherwise it will dry up and your plants will die.

By J. Fletcher
Picked up one of these at my local department store. The unit itself has 7 ports for plants. Although its designed for hot pepper plants you can also grow other things such as smaller tomato plants and herbs. I currently have Tobasco Peppers, Jalapenos, Cayane Peppers, Sweet Basil, Curled Parsley, Cilantro, and Cherry Tomatoes. Cost me about $22 in total for all of the plants.
Theres not a lot of room to maneuver inside once you get some plants in. I agree with one of the reviewers that the hardest part of this unit is putting the plants through the holes. I actually almost ruined a few plants putting it in and I'm very careful. I also agree that its best to select smaller plants for this unit. Don't worry, they'll grow fast once things get going.
If you plan on using this with a Shepard Hook, buy an S clip as this unit does not come with one. It does however come with 1 hook which screws into wood. You need to drill a pilot hole in the wood to install the hook.

I did what the box said and it works.
I love sitting on my deck and watching my pepper's grow.
I loved it so much that I got 10 of them and started planting different vegetables.
I even gave some away as gifts now my whole family has them.

Like Multi-plant set-up
this product works well for growing many of the same type of hot pepper plant. So when the bees and ants come they don't cross pollinate.

I used this to grow strawberries. Since this planter was upside down it need a lot of water so make sure to water often!
