How to Propagate Pepper Plants from Cuttings to Grow over the Winter

I'm a huge fan of fresh Jalapeno peppers and so one thing I like to do is take cuttings of my pepper plants so I can enjoy peppers indoors over the winter. Pepper plants can be propagated very easily through cuttings and have a high chance of success. Once rooted pepper plants can be brought indoors to grow and will produce peppers if placed in a sunny location.
In the video I talk about how to take cuttings of pepper plants, what rooting medium to use for cuttings, and why you might want to take cuttings of peppers to begin with! This works well because peppers are really a tender perennial that can grow for a long time as long as the plant is not damaged by frost.
To propagate pepper plants make sure you allow enough time for rooting to occur before your first frost date. You will want to allow about 4 to 6 weeks for rooting. Keep an eye on the weather and avoid the frosts!
Peppers can also be dug from the garden and planted in pots indoors to overwinter.

If anyone doesn't have rooting hormones. Use the gel from aloe vera plant, it works as a natural rooting hormone.

raw honey works better I believe, there's a video I watched on this though

Rooting cuttings and keeping your peppers indoors over winter is great for situations where MANY varieties are being grown close together, and the odds of accidental hybridization are high. Older pepper plants seem to be more productive, too! Great video 👏🏻

Very good points!

I didn't even know pepper cutting would grow roots. 1 branch was destroyed by my dog fell off from the plant. I felt bad so just plugged the branch into the ground. It has some leaves and a big pepper. Slowly all the leaves died and the chili turned red and died as well. A few days later. I saw small leaves coming out of the corner of the branches. 🦔 I was so happy. It was like a miracle!! 😚 I never ever thought a pepper branch would survive and turn into another plant if I put it on the ground! Not to mention, the weather was extreme as well. Many days were ~104F!! Miracle and marvelous! It breaks my heart to see the branch to went through such harsh condition and survived! Gotta take care of them better next time by placing them in nice weather! 😀

@cesarvillalobos1710 2 года назад

Nice video, it really helped me clear some doubts on pepper propagation. On a side note, those chiltepin pepper look really nice. Here in Sonora chiltepin grows naturally, and in its wild form (no one farms chiltepin here, it is always gathered) it is usually much more smaller and hard. I have been told that when chiltepin is provided with fertilizers and good growing conditions they grow bigger, and now I see what they meant. You should do an experiment on providing chiltepin with conditions simulating those in the wild. While I have never tried homegrown chiltepin, I have been told wild chiltepin is much better.

Honestly, you should worry about your literacy (the ability to read and write) more than cloning your plants. When you learn to properly read and write, you might be able to get a half decent job. With a better job you could afford some clone-x or any other rooting hormone. 🎉

I've had success scraping the outer skin of the bottom half inch or so of the cutting, then dipping the cutting into a cut aloe vera stem to help minimize rot. I then dip it into the rooting powder and place it in coarse sand. The powder sticks to the aloe vera jelly like glue. I do all of your other steps (cut away extra leaves, remove small peppers or flowers, keep at least one node that will go into the sand, keep out of direct sunlight). Sometimes they do wilt a bit for a day or so but then they recover. Keep watering to maintain hydration. The sand ensures excellent drainage.

@angelasmith3096 3 года назад

Thank you for this video! I have been trying unsuccessfully to propagate pepper cuttings for weeks....I have MG rooting powder, one person told me to dip the cutting in the powder, then put in water. I was also told to use sterile soil, or rock wool..neither of these worked. I am going to try your technique and believe that it will work this time! 🙏🏽

Hi, Im in New Zealand and its the first day of the last month of Fall. We have had a few nights of zero deg celsius and soon well get a hard frost. So I have probably left it too late for cuttings. My habanero, jalapeños and bell peppers are grown in a poly tunnel. I suppose my option this late in my growing season is to overwinter the plants I have already growing and let them go dormant ready for next spring?

@SteveHacker 10 месяцев назад

@reniapriani9031 2 года назад

Can you tell me how much is your succesful rate using this technique? And is it harder to stimulate rooting if I use bigger and older branches?

@Growingthehomegarden 2 года назад

I haven't kept up with the rate but if I were estimating I would say 60 to 90% root. They root very well for the nost part.

Hello. Thanks for the video. Is that root hormone a powder or do you make it into a paste? Thanks

@Growingthehomegarden Год назад

It's a powder. I will sometimes wet the ends of the cuttings then dip it in powder to help it adhere better to the cutting. It's not always necessary

@lutzdiagram 6 месяцев назад

Soil temp is critical.Rule of thumb is warm and wet.Too cold and the stems rot.Too hot and they cook.I keep the soil 75-80F and wet no drainage until roots form.

@Growingthehomegarden 2 года назад

It should survive just as well as the original plant once you have roots growing. It may need babied the first week or two after planting.

@Gun_Molester 3 года назад

can i take a cutting from a pepper plant on its last legs or old?...will the new plant act old or produce like a new plant?

@Growingthehomegarden 3 года назад

Hi Steve, Peppers are perennials in tropical climates so you can take cuttings off of older peppers just fine provided it is recent first year growth. I use this method to take cuttings at the end of our growing season and look for healthy cuttings that tend to be from terminal growth (the branch ends essentially). When rooted the plant should act like a perfectly normal pepper plant and be able to produce new peppers. You don't have to do this at the end of the season though. You can increase your pepper plants through cloning instead of growing a bunch from seed. It's a good way to make more pepper plants from what may have been expensive or hard to find pepper seeds.

@barbarapeterson9274 3 года назад

@Growingthehomegarden 3 года назад

Probably treating it like the cuttings here would be the best way. You may need to cut the pepper back quite a bit to compensate for the loss of the root system.

Do you think a poblano plant would survive 50 degrees? 😅 freaking texas man, i had two amazing poblanos growing, then we hit 110+ for weeks and they just stopped growing, and turning red. So i plucked them off. Then all it did was just grow leaves and longer stems. Finally got cooler (90s) and it started blooming out the wazoo and put on 10 peppers. But the plant is so spindly and old leaves a lot of leaves fell off. I fertilized it to help it out and cut 5 of the peppers off. They seem to be growing more now. But now we are about to get a cold front in a few days and a ton of rain all week. 😩😩

@Growingthehomegarden 9 месяцев назад

50 degrees shouldn't be a problem! I have a few plants still here in Tennesse growing and we've hit the lower 40s. Frosts and freezes may kill them but 50s will just slow their growth a little.

How mature does the plant need to be in order to trim off?

As long as the stem is a little firm anytime should be fine. I wouldn't take from fresh growth right away but after it's had a short time to grow it would be fine.

@@mdlanor5414 If the first peppers were larger I suspect it has to do with the soil nutrients. Adding a good balanced organic fertilizer to the soil may improve things. It could also have to do with seasonal weather. If it's been dry the fruit may be smaller.
