My pepper seedlings are getting spindly and tall so it's time to trim their tops. Topping pepper seedlings is the best way to encourage the growth of branches as well as strengthening of the main trunk.
London - based complete chilli - growing novice, here - VERY enthusiastic about growing this summer and I have 14 plants already, some definitely need this treatment, so thankyou for this video! I'll get right on them tomorrow with a brand new set of shears.
I know this is late but I just wanted to say thank you! I was unsure if it was too late to top them and where to do so at first. This video cleared up all that uncertainty
This was the second topping video I watched tonight. Great job. I am American, but I live in Cavite. I am currently germinating some pepper seeds. So, I found this very informative.
I guess im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot the login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me
Hi there. I just top all my pepper seedlings today. The early plants have lots of branches. I'm so happy indeed. Thank you for sharing 'how to top & when to top them'. 🌱🌶️🙏
Wow this is very timely because I have Pepper seedlings here that is ready for toppings.. 😁... Thank you Sir.. I guess I would be busy in the following days doing what I have learned from this video and from your other videos Sir😊👍
I enjoying watching your videos And I am here in California. At gustong gusto Kong maggarden gaya sa iyo At maraming natutunan sa mga Paul ninyo. Salamat!!!;
I am growing seeds..they are growing slow and leaves come through scruchy looking..I may have cut it too low or not waited for leaves to grow enough..you are very helpful to explain and show..I am in Israel ..we had lock down three weeks now ..I have an out door space with a lemon tree so I enjoy nature so much. Thank you and sending you blessings..Lia
I have grown a cayenne pepper plant for 2 months that is like the second plant you showed (branching into the Y shape at the top). I’ve never topped it before, so is it too late to top it? How low down should I top it?
Very nice. Clear and informative. Those plants you have shown, do you transplant them in a bigger container? Or can they grow in small containers? Thanks.
They have been transplanted to a bigger and permanent container. At least 3 gallon containers would do depending on the variety of chili plants. Many thanks.
No specific fertilizer is needed when topping your chili plants. Fertilizing must be done even when the plant is not topped. Use triple 14 or triple 16 fertilizer. Just apply a few like 4 to 5 granules while they are at this seedling stage. After reaching one month, you can add urea (46-0-0) to help in growing faster. When they are about to bloom, add 1/2 Potash to every volume of triple 14 to help in getting more fruits from your chili plants. Please remember that the volume of fertilizer needed by plants in container is much lower than those directly planted in the ground to avoid burning/killing the plants. Many Thanks and hope you visit the channel again.
You gave all the info I needed and I feel confident I can prune at correct time and correct way. Thank you for posting. It helps when you understand "why" we do things..and you explained that very well, again, thank you..i try to do my own little videos islandgirlwrites is my channel
Hello, If you have ants on your pepper plants please check under the leaves to see if your plant is affected by aphids. To make ants leave, just spray the plant with water especially under the leaves every few days. Cheers!
Sir talaga po ang stalk ng seedling ng labuyo ay may pagka-reddish brown? Ganun po kc yung pinatubo ko, ang green part lng po ay ung malapit na sa dahon
Yes. There is just the tendency for them to be tall and wobbly especially if the wind is strong. Also, there are cultivars that does not need pruning since they readily grow branches. This I observed in some bell pepper plants. Happy gardening.
What do I do if a bunch of little seedlings grew in a pot but they have never grown past a couple of inches tall with two tiny leaves? They’ve been like that for weeks.
Hi Missi, Some variety of peppers do stay dormant during the seedling stage and it could be because of lack of sunlight, not enough nutrients in the growing medium or both. Without enough light the tendency for the seedling is to stretch. Without enough NPK particularly Nitrogen, they will grow very slowly. Thanks.
Sir, kapag topping po sa main stem, then nagka branch na (1st branch), at yung branch ay pwede po ba itopping? kapag po itopping yung 1st branch at nagka sanga ulit ay pwede rin po ba itopping yun? and so on & so forth? -TIA
Hello Umesh, I don't use pesticides. What I do before using the soil is to expose it to the heat of the sun for a few days. One effective way is also to sterilize it first by boiling for a few minutes or pouring boiling water. That way whatever parasites or pests that may be in the soil will be neutralized.
Hi gud evening Ask ko lang saan ako makakabili ng pepper seedling ng tulad ng nasa video, ang kailangan ko un sili labuyo para sa bahay ! Glad to hear from you Thank u & stay safe
Hello Sajjad, One of the common reasons why chili flowers drop is the absence of pollination. Without getting pollinated the flowers will just dry out and drop. You can induce self-pollination by shaking the main trunk or by gently flicking the back of the flower to induce pollination. I have another video that gives an update on my pepper plants as well as how to induce self-pollination. Here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1rED66kl9Yc.html
Pag meron na po apat hanggang anim na dahon ay pwede na mag transplant. Pwede din na patagalin pa sa styro cup hanggang tumaas sya ng six to eight inches.
Hi Late Grower, ngaun ko lang nakita ko tong video na ito. Ilang weeks or months na po ang 1st topping ng pepper plant? Pagkatapos po kailan ang susunod? Starting my seeds one week ago sa isang seed bed. I want to document or understand the step by step procedure in growing. Ndi pa kasi ako nakakapunta sa mga training. Urban gardening lang ako for now.
Hintayin nyo lang po umabot ng 6 to 8 inches ang taas at pwede na sya i-topping para tumibay ang trunk at maglabas din ng mga sanga. May mga sili po na isang topping lang ang kailangan, meron din naman na kailangan ang ikalawang topping kung nakikita nyo na ayaw magsanga sa itaas at humahaba lang sya. Kayo po ang magde-decide kung kailan nyo sila dapat na i-topping ulit. Salamat Po.
@@LateGrower, salamat po sa pagsagot at more power to your channel and more life and health to you. More videos din po. Thanks you very much. From Gabriel here from Navotas City.
Hindi ko po kabisado ang kanilang scoville unit pero sa panlasa ko ay medyo mas maanghang ang siling haba. Dahil pareho silang sili ay pwede po sila mag cross-breed pero kung magkatabi lang ay medyo mahirap po mangyari kasi self-pollinating ang sili. Kung intentionally gagawin ninyo ay pwede po subukan. Mayroon po channel na eksperto sa cross breeding ng sili, try nyo po si Khang Starr panoorin para sa procedure ng cross-breeding.
Marami po dahilan sa pagkukulot ng dahon ng sili. Kung pwede po ay panoorin nyo ang video na ito; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rwndfuiFhEY.html
Sobra po ang init ng panahon ngayon kaya nalalaglag ang bulaklak na maliliit gaya ng kamatis at sili. Kung nakabilad sya ay subukan nyo ilagay sa lilim at morning sun lang muna sya para hindi matuyo ang mga bulaklak. Marami pa rin po pwedeng dahilan pero una na dyan ang hot temperature ngayon.
Hi, When you see the roots starting to circle the bottom of the cup, then it is time to transfer the seedling to a bigger container. Another way is when the seedling is already taller than the cup. Thank you po.
Maraming salamat po sir. Bago pa lang kase akong nag-start planting/gardening. Nag document ako sa progress ko so far dito, sir.: thehappywritinglife.com/category/my-garden-project/ Would be very happy to get advice from you if meron kang ma-offer sir. :)
Check po sa presence ng insects gaya ng aphids, spider mites at mag spray muna ng tubig sa ilaim at ibabaw ng dahon para maalis sila. Putulin ang mga nag kulubot na dahon para hindi na mag aksaya ng energy ang halaman at magpatubo ng bagong mga dahon.
Hello, Nakapamunga na po yan sila Sir. Sa ibang video ko ay na feature sila. Eto po ang video : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1rED66kl9Yc.html
@@kennyg5235 I just started this in march this year. I am loving it. My tomato plants have grown so big, bell peppers are the same size as this video, strawberry seeds just germinated after a month 😂, melon and Italian pepper seeds germinated the fasted. Other than those I am trying to get kiwi and blueberry seeds to germinate but they are taking forever. When I initially saw my tomato seeds germinating, I got so excited and started planting seeds from almost everything I ate 😂 How about you?
Ang Pepper/Chili leaf curl po ay may ilan na pwedeng dahilan. Pwede po na virus ang dahilan at malabo na malunasan kapag tinamaan ang halaman. Kadalasang may dala ng virus ay Thrips, Aphids, Mites, at White flies. Isa pa po na maaaring dahilan ay kakulangan ng calcium at magnezium sa lupa. Para maiwasan ay siguruhun na malusog ang lupa at kumpleto sa secondary micro-nutrients na calcium at Magnezium. Sa mga peste naman sa halaman ay ugaliin na mag spray ng insecticide regularly. Kung kaunti pa lang ang leaf curl at mga talbos pa lang ang apektado ay mag trim at alisin ang mga curled leaves, spray ng insecticide weekly or every four days at hintayin na tumubo ang mga bagong dahon at sanga. Sana po ay makatulong.
