So, the bag is labeled as “peperone” and they are growing well, but when do I water them, I’ve been doing daily. Also, how do I get rid of flies, baby flies are hatching in my pot and I want them gone, I need an organic and affordable solution for that too.

    Daily watering is likely far too often … I’m not seeing quick useful links to peperone (as you can imagine, I’m getting a lot about pepperoni and pepperoncinis).

    But if this is a C. annuum cultivar, these are adapted to arid climates. Let the plants tell you when they need water (droopy leaves); they spring back remarkably quickly, like in under an hour. It sounds like you’re drowning them and ending up with other issues as a result.
