Pepper pairing?

[ChelswannabeGT]

I have a little room in my bed because I give up on my stupid cauliflowers not making heads so I decided to buy some pepper plants. I’ve recently read it’s best to plant two right beside each other like 2 inches apart at most. Which mean I would buy two big pepper plants and basically put them in same home. Is this right?

Where did you read this? Peppers are planted no closer than 1 ft apart. Plant them close together and they are competing for water, sunlight and nutrients, not a good thing.
