Avoid overwatering — peanuts dislike soggy soil.
Rotate your container every few days if only one side gets sun.
Use organic compost once a month to boost growth.
Variations
Small space hack: Use multiple small containers (like recycled bottles cut in half) for individual peanut plants.
Vertical growing: Place containers on racks or shelves to maximize space in small balconies.
Companion plants: Grow peanuts alongside herbs like basil or mint in separate containers to deter pests.
FAQ
Q: Can I grow peanuts indoors year-round?
A: Yes, as long as they receive at least 6–8 hours of sunlight (or strong grow lights).
Q: Do I need special peanuts for planting?
A: Just make sure they are raw and unsalted. Supermarket roasted peanuts won’t sprout.
Q: How many peanuts will one plant produce?
A: Each plant typically yields 30–50 peanuts under good conditions.
Q: Can I reuse the same soil for the next crop?
A: It’s best to refresh or rotate soil, since peanuts are legumes and deplete certain nutrients.
