How we grew a giant Dorset Naga plant 

Those are some of the most beautiful chile plants I have ever seen.

best video on the internet.

I’ve watched this videos soooo many times. Such a great varietal. Excited to grow this next summer

2,407 chillies?! You did fantastic this year, Joy!

G’day I have been following you for some time now and because of you and others I made my own RU-vid channel and posted my first video yesterday. It seems to be going well and I have you to thank for giving me the courage to do so. The videos about pot size has helped a lot. Thank You.

Hi thank you so much for your video it is very much appreciated .nigel is really impressive. seeing the size of Nigel really encourages me to take extra good care of the plans that I have and encourages me to pay close attention to the plants that I have and not disregard them. they all have potential regardless of the size that they grow .I spend more time taking care of each of them now. I don't have a lot of them but I'm appreciative. thanks

this is so brilliant ideas growing chillies in the pot - thanks for sharing madam

I've been watching this video for years and have finally decided to try to plant one out... well several. I hope to have a fraction of the success that you've had. Great (epic, legendary) video btw.

This are the biggest pepper plants I have even seen, very inspiring!

Holy guacamole what a plant, really nice !!

Woa! Thats a one titan-size naga! And quite a massive crop too :) Nice one

Wow, incredible! Thanks for sharing

Unbelievable! You did an amazing job!

Absolutely outstanding, looking forward to planting mine up next year from the seeds I got from you,I’ve only managed to get hold of a 90L pot but hopefully it’ll be a good harvest.

Great video. Loved and Subbed

Wow. Pretty cool.

absolutely stunning! you grew some beautiful plants!

Great video. Love seaspring seeds for posting. For the additional fertilizer info: I searched for this in comment section: she said “ We used a general purpose, water soluable fertilisers, mostly one called Miracle Gro but sometimes a different one called Phostrogen. I applied very low concentrations of the fertiliser when I watered the plant, between two to four times a week. If I had used the recommended application rate I would have done it less often. Time of day makes no difference.” Also ‘Greenvale’ was the type of dried chicken pellets

all inspiring vedeo how to plant and proper planting of chili bell peppers etc.love it

I find this so fascinating.. it's a pepper tree.. Thank you for sharing how you grew it, I've been wondering that since I first saw this plant in your previous videos. One day I will try this method with a mild pepper :P

Wow it's amazing, I love chillis and this year I try to plant this pepper I hope my plants become like your thay are amazing 🌶🌶🌶🌶

Woah Nigel is a mammoth!! Well done!

Great video thank you for sharing.

I belong to Naga tribe(North East of India). I guess this is the hottest chilli or one of the hottest chillies. You will find lots if you visit Nagaland and Manipur, India. One plant can last 5-6 years in a right soil and climate.Once it turns to red, pluck it and dry it. You can use it for another yrs

That is one beast of a plant

Omg ❤❤😮😮😮 this chilly is so beautiful

that is impressive, with the proof!...very nice

OMG !!! So amazing !!

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!! Very good!!

Absolutely Amazing

Wow, I’ve got chilli envy!! 😋

I didn't know pepper tree could grw that big. 😳😱 Fantasticcccc

very fertile and healthy chili tree, 👍👍👍 thanks for share your video

Incredibly awesome, great job !!!

Absolutely amazing

Very impressive. Awesome. 😀🌶

SO AWESOME! your plants are incredibly great

Awesome well done.

What a beast impressed, unbelievable harvest

Awesome Peppers!

you are a legend

Impressive growing, especially for your location. I notice that the dorset naga in general is a particularly robust plant. I started some seeds in a 36-cell germination tray last summer. The plant grew about 6 inches, then was left practically unattended for nearly a year (in the tray!). Mind you, it was growing on a teeny tiny amount of potting mix. It died back to just just the main stem. It was on its last breath and showing only a sliver of green on the stem when I decided to transplant in a hydroponic system. Now it is robust, maybe 2 feet tall and with dozens of flowers and a few developing peppers already. My point? Out of the dozen varieties I seeded in the tray last year, this and one other survived, possibly by going dormant. Now I've got about a month or two to figure out what to do with all the dorset nagas that will ripen. Not a bad problem to have. Take care!

Amazing!!!!!!

Omg I’m soooo jealous I really wish I could get my plants that huge!!

Very nice garden plants

Wow love from Nagaland

Really nice

Wow just wow words cant express ur work can u please make more video of planting ur Dorset naga chilli plant I wanna learn how to plant like you

This is mind blowing! Great video

Lovely...

Excellent garden

I am Montagnard indigenous Central highland I love you beautiful pepper plants.

Very impressive result! Congratulations! You should make a bonchi from Nigel, would love to see the stem of that plant ;-)

beautiful chillies

Wow that’s seriously impressive I drove passed you place a few days ago and plan to come and collect some tomorrow if that’s ok.

If I had those chili plans I would sleep naked in the greenhouse overnight, just playing the harp

Wow giants amazing

Thank you for your inspiring video. After many hours of tedious research into the arcane lore of chili pepper growing, it's fantastic to see such amazing success with compost, chicken manure and Miracle Gro. I'm off to buy huge pots.

awesome as all very great work naga really puts out

Wowww

Always great seeing success! but I'd like to have a bit more context/background. I would most likely find it from your other videos, but I'm on a research mission on YT for success + methodology.

Can you share more videos please? :) I really enjoy these videos on monster chilli plants grown in England

it is just Amazing

wow amazing I'm in ore of your chilli growing . one question do you heat your Polly tunnels

Was great to meet you today at the chilli n cheese festival 🌱🌶👌🏽

Wow Naga chili 😍

WOW WOW WOW!!!!!

Every year I watch this video to keep myself inspired in the garden. Lovely plants. I’d like to see what you could do with a large C. frutescens. Maybe 10,000 pods? Good stuff. Aloha

Hi Joy and Michael - i have just potted on one of your Dorset Naga plug plants into its final pot - not 100 ptrs, but possibly 60trs - good drainage and will be water through a reservoir (bit like ring culture) - its in a 1/1/1 mix of homemade garden compost, homemade woodywaste compost (so carbon rich) and garden soil that was sieved - i put a few chicken pellets in every couple of inches of pot mix so the seedling roots will eventually reach - did you add more pellets as the plant grew? I can also feed with comfrey liquid if that is appropriate?

Hi thanks for uploaded video did purne the plant?

I bought some Dorset Naga seeds just after xmas, I germinated them in early January, they took between 13 and 17 days for them to pop and I got 19 out of 20 sprouted, one of them looked like it had no leaves but I left it in and now it has 2 small leaves, its still behind the others but itll be fine i'm sure. I was going to try and sell 1 or 2, I thought more people would be willing to try and grow them once the fiddly bits done and they are about 3 months old, but now were on lock down due to COVID19 Ill have to grow them out myself, I'll be eating hot sauce for the next 5 years lol. Thank you seaspring seeds, the seeds were great and so far worth every penny.

Hey when i saw this video it inspired me to start growing my own chilies and ive bought some Carolina Reapers and im wondering how many seeds you put in one pot when starting and what fertilizer you used on these plants? Thankou

Wow!!!! 2,400+ chill in one plant

Incredible! Can you share more? ❤️

I'm from Nagaland, we can't live without that chilli.🤣😁😁

I have wanted to grow these for a few years here in Canada. I was having a hard time getting the seeds here. My relatives from England came here on short notice, and I asked if they could get some seeds. They did receive from you in 2 days. Just wanted to say Thank You!

Nice chilies

What NPK ratio fertilizer are you using?

Hi.I was wondering what the NPK ratio of the MG you are using is and if you change to a higher K ratio when fruiting.I hvae purchased some Dorset naga seeds off you and hope to have good results growing down here in New Zealand :)

Absolutely incredible. I was wondering if you would share some additional information. You mentioned that your pots are filled with compost and chicken manure pellets. From there you said you gave them a lot of water and fertilized them regularly. Would you please share what additional fertilizers you used beyond the chicken manure pellets?

Can you tell me, the Dorset Naga is it the same as the Bhut Jolokia? If not the same do you have the seed? I have promised some friends to grow it for them, I gave them some of the lemon drop which they loved, don't think the Thai green curry was hot enough for them. I have purchased all my chilli and pepper seeds from you and am ready to purchase them for next year. Tried the bellboy, gourmet and sakura this year as well as my favourites Baja, Tequila and the gorgeous Ringo

Wow i love to grow

tell me you over wintered them for a second crop :D Those are some of the nicest looking plants ive ever seen x

What kind of compost did you use? I didn't quite catch what you said.

THIS IS CRAZY😲

The Bellaforma from seaspringseeds can grow huge as well. He grew in my greenhouse in full ground, pressed against the north-side. I can imagine he could grow a lot bigger in a big container. I don't know if I have enough room for a 160 liter pot:)...

OMG 😮. I’m super jealous. What an amazing chili plant. Please tell me how often do you water and fertilize it. And how much. Please. Thanks for the video. Amazing 😍

may i ask? did u top and prune any of those monsters before getting to that size?

Wow

Congratulations on your magnificent plant, Being a vivid grower of especially bangladeshi naga which my mother has been growing for ever i was extremely pleased to see such an awesome plant. I was just wondering if any artificial lighting was used at any period of the plants life? Did you use any microbes and bacteria or mychorizzal funghi?

BEAUTIFUL

Simply superb, watched your other videos too. Can you please tell me what you use for the soil?

How do you pollinate the flowers on such large plants in your poly tunnel to get so many fruit?

Hi what did you use to fertilise? You said you fertilise regularly and how often should they be watered? Please

Just amazing! Is the Naga unusual in that it is able to grow this big, or is it mainly down to care and attention? Sounds like with all the right nutrients, the pot is the limiting factor.

Do you grow the in the winter too ?

Please share about the growing procedure, careing, fertilizer, pest control, soil type etc. And mostly I always face a proplem that the chilli fell down at early time before maturity

We lost some chillies. Picks off over 100 peppers lol I just started growing some this year i will order some naga blacks and probwbly some chocolate ghosts soon

wow!

Is the greenhouse heated? I would have thought it would be a bit cold by November.
