if it is in a soft media, then yes - I have only ever staked it when they began to produce large amounts of big fruits |

it is in a murray growbed but seems today to of fallen over. No fruit on it yet. Also what does a capsicum plant look like I might have something else. IT has 20mm gravel to hold it in place. |

Nick, if it fell over, stake it so it doesn't smother other plants or take up too much precious bed space. Take a picture to show us the plant for positive ID. Capsicums (we call them peppers) have a smooth dark green leaf (sometimes purple) that is oblate and pointed. Flowers are small and white. Some are more ornamental, and there's quite a bit of variation in leaf size, fruit size/shape/color, and the overall size of the plant. Here's a nice pepper... http://www.parkseed.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... erCode=T1H |

Mine have got pretty tall NIck, so if I get any fruit, I will definately need to stake them. One is already being held up with string to the standpipe outer |
