should i risk my hydroponic jalapeño in phoenix’s wild zone 9b?

Last spring, I started a jalapeño plant in my little hydroponic setup. Watching those tiny leaves pop up indoors felt like magic. But then summer hit, and the Arizona sun was calling. I wondered if my hydro baby could handle the wild world outside. I decided to give it a shot. I picked a spot with morning sun and afternoon shade, hoping it wouldn’t fry. I eased it out for a few hours each day, letting it get used to the heat. After a week, it was ready for a full move. Now, my jalapeño is loving life in the garden. The peppers are bigger, and the plant looks happier than ever. Turns out, a little patience and a slow transition can make all the difference. #gardeningtips #jalapeno #hydroponics #zone9b #arizonagardening #Gardening
