Should you bury the stems of pepper plants like you do with tomato transplants?

No, you should not bury the stems of pepper plants like you do with tomato transplants. Pepper plants have a different root structure and do not benefit from stem burial, which can lead to rot and disease. Instead, plant them at the same depth as they were in their original containers to ensure healthy growth. Proper planting helps maintain air circulation and prevents moisture accumulation around the stem.
