I grow several different kinds of peppers in containers. You need soil that drains well. Planting in soil with poor drainage gives peppers a bitter taste. You might have to add some sand since a lot of the potting soils on the market today don't drain well. It's easier to over water than under water. Just watch the plant for signs of wilting (sometimes they wilt because it's just plain out hot). Dig down just a little and see how much moisture there is. I water about every other day when there's no rain. I'm in the USA, Moultrie GA. When using chlorinated water you need to add a little Epsom Salts from time to time. As the chlorine builds up the leaves will start to loose their dark green color and turn a little yellow. Pepper production drops off when it happens. The Epsom Salts will solve the problem.

∙ 8y agoIt depends on humidity, temperature, and wind. It also makes a difference if your peppers are growing in a pot or raised bed. A general rule with peppers is to water when the peppers start to wilt. It is usually best to water infrequently but when you do water, give them a good soak.
