i know Im asking randomly but does any of you know a method to log back into an instagram account?? I was dumb lost the password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me
@Js Beson I live in Colorado. I tried this. I actually dug my peppers up from the garden. First year it worked fine. Second year I over watered during the winter and rotted the roots. Now I am moving to Florida. I've had it with the Colorado winters. Right now it's going to snow tomorrow September 8th. My beautiful garden is a goner. I am going to try to cover as much as I can with frost covers but I can only do so much when it's going down to 28 degrees tomorrow night.
If I know I am going to overwinter some pepper or tomato plants, I prepare some plastic 1 or 2 litre beverage bottles by cutting off the top and adding a drain hole in the bottom. Then in late summer, I take cuttings from the various plants and root them in the 1 or 2 litre bottles. By the time cold weather sets in, the plants are established and ready for overwintering. The nice thing about using 1 or 2 litre bottles is they don't take up much room so I can put 5 or 6 into a 5 gallon bucket then if we get a warm sunny day during the winter, the plants can easily be taken outside to soak up some sunlight. If you look around your grocery store, you might be able to find some tall slender plastic bottles in the flavored bottled water department. During the year, I just buy 1 or 2 every time I go grocery shopping. That way during the year, I manage to accumulate a dozen or more new plastic bottles. Or ask your friends to save their bottles for you. Terry Thomas Brookhaven Gardens Atlanta, Georgia USA USDA Zone: 7B
Dude, You just gave me an idea. I'm going to over-winter 6 plants for the first time this year. Instead of buying anything, I'm going to use plastic gallon milk jugs. Hacksaw through the top, wash and sanitize, and I'll have a planter that sits square and will take up limited space in front of the sunny window.
the thing I want from overwintering is root stock that grows bigger adn produces more the following year, not a younger plant....after a couple years these things keep developing and really are amazing.....I had one this year that produced over 40 large bell peppers on one plant ....that was a wow experience
i really love your videos. i have about 15 pepper plants that i am overwintering, most of them are quite young and fragile because i started them in september from seed. i had quite a lot of issues with them - they were not growing very nice and i figured that it was because i did not use a good soil - it was much roo compact wherefore the roots were not able to develop appropriately. i now added vermiculite and perlite to the soil and replanted them, so i hope they are going to recover. the other issue was as you mentioned a kot of pests on my plants. i tried a lot of stuff - to spray them with diluted soap and coffee as well as diluted soap and castor oil, but nothing worked. i will buy some neem oil now and try this. i started new seeds a month ago (about 12 varieties) and will try to include as much of your suggestions as possible to grow nice and healthy plants. pepper plants are really addictive - especially when you see all varieties available!!!!!! here in europe you have online shops in which they sell up to 780 different varieties of seeds :-) these grafting experiments are very interesting!!! best wishes from france!
I had no idea you could over winter pepper plants. I thought you had to start from seed each year so thank you very much for enlightening me. Considering how hard it was to find scorpion pepper seeds this will save me from relying on harvesting seeds for next seasons crop. I will still harvest seeds just in case I'm not successful with the overwintering but your video makes it seem easy enough. Thanks again.
Nice video, I overwintered my carolina reapers 6 winters. The stem seem to stopped growing or it grows very slow, but i get plenty of shoots every year and plenty of tasty peppers.
Have saved a good 30 pepper plants from last year to grow on in 2022. Should have a much better start than last year when I lost pretty much all of them in the greenhouse. I didn't bring them in as they had bugs/thrips on them, only one survived an orange bell plant. Great tips :)
I am very new to this, so your videos are quite helpful. I would be TERRIFIED to cut back my plant as you did, but hopefully I can build up my confidence and skill over the coming year. I just started my very first simple grow cabinet (~1.75'x3') with a 37W LED lamp on an 18on-6off schedule, and so far things are looking good! I'm growing tomatoes, basil and parsley. The tomato plants have sprouted nicely and are growing quite quickly in Miracle Gro soil (though I have General Hydroponics Flora nutrients after a few months of distilled-water irrigation (water PH 6-7). The basil and parsley are growing using Kratkey hydroponics in 1L mason jars. I use soil in my net-cup, and a kleenex to prevent the soil from falling through. So far, the basil has sprouted and seems to be growing quite well, though the parsley has not (though it's only been a few days). I'm _really_ excited to start growing some lettuce and spinach, and perhaps I will try my hand at growing some hot peppers! The LED light is bright and fantastic for the space, though I may get another one to slightly boost the light, if required. The area is nicely humid (I have water in my grow tray), and pleasantly warm. The small amount of warmth put off by the light regulates the temperature quite well. I'm slowly thinking up plans to build a larger, multi-tiered grow closet or shelving system to handle far more produce. It's amazing how much can be grown given a small floor-space! To be honest, I wouldn't have started growing without your videos, so thank you! I feel as though I'm embarking on a life-long journey. Growing is fun, relaxing, convenient, and you know *exactly* what is going into your food. I just wish I could grow everything! :)
I brought in all my bell peppers indoor and the fruits are now turning yellow after 2 weeks. I will have to do heavy pruning soon for the winter season here in Toronto 🇨🇦
I overwintered a pepper plant indoors last year, without doing anything other than bringing it inside. It survived and produced this year. It was looking pretty sickly after spending all winter inside, but it recovered once I got it back outside in mid-spring. So what's the point of all of the pruning and de-rooting? I guess leaving it as-is causes the plant to spend too much energy trying to fruit/flower, and other things that just aren't going to happen indoors in winter without expensive lighting, and that it's better to let it go semi-dormant and "rest"?
This is an awesome idea! It takes forever for me to get pepper plants from seeds and for fruit to finally set. Next year should welcome a faster fruit production. Thank you!
I tried it and new shoots start to come out after 10 days. Do I need to change to a bigger pot and fertilize or just keep it moist and sunny location for the winter? Thx
I wouldn't transfer to a bigger pot and fertilize till spring, a bit before you want to take the plants outdoors again. Through the winter only water minimally to just sustain the plant and place somewhere it does not get full full sun, just partial sun for part of the day. You don't really want the plant to go into full re-growth at this stage. In their native habitat, Central and South America, where winters don't go below freezing to kill the plants, peppers often go semi-dormant for a while. They drop a lot of leaves, stop flowering and fruiting, and some branches die back (self-pruning). You are trying to mimic this process.
Let the soil dry out between waterings. You don't want it to stay moist. The semi-dormant plant won't be taking up as much water and all that excess moisture could lead to root rot problems. Also, the slower growth and minimal uptake of water by the plant during this stage helps to control pests like spider mites. It amounts to much less potential food for the mites so it becomes less likely to have a population boom. While the plant was living outdoors in the summer those mites were around, but so were their predators and daily/weekly climate fluctuations to keep them in check. Indoors, at near constant temperatures (at perfect range for mites), and little to no predators, spider mites can quickly become a problem.
I wish i had found this video a year ago.I brought some jalapenos in side & trimmed them up good. But i did not spray for bugs & ended up fighting white flies all winter.I lost both Jalapeno plants back in February.So thanks to your video i will try again & this time neem oil the plants.
I totally understand having love for certain plants in the garden. Especially for peppers that are hard to grow. Just wondering why you didn't just clone them. Takes up even less space. Love the Graft though
It’s October 3rd rn and next Friday, got a chance of snow! 34° for the low, rain all day, and it will be very cloudy. :( Central Iowa. And I plan on being all of my peppers in, also tomatoes
Hi, I was wondering have you ever considered grafting one type of Bhut Jolokia with other types of the same pepper? As you know that Bhut Jolokia peppers come in various colours, if you were to do a do a couple of different coloured Bhut Jolokia stems grafted on to another different coloured Bhut Jolokia plant, and if it were a successful graft,then that would result in one plat producing multi coloured fruits. Wouldn’t it be an amazing sight to behold?
I like this video a lot my grandpa had a birds eye pepper plant that was 16 years old he lived in south Tx up till his passing. Something in your video caught my eye aside from your method. In the yellow 5gal bucket you have a pepper plant that is what looks like 3 inches around. Is that in a hydroponic system?
Loved. Loved the video, will definitely try this method this fall. Can I put the plants in the basement.?. There is not a lot of sun light in the basement.
Hi Khang! Thanks again for such wonderful content. It only gets down below freezing rarely where I live. In my garage I have a grow tent, lights, fan, and root warming pad. Do you think this would be enough equipment to keep them safe over winter in a garage?
When I will cut off the branches and take it inside, how often do I need to water the plant? Hope it will keep somehow through the winter without additional artificial light..
Yes, keep the temperature above 55F and provide some kind of light, enough to keep it alive. It won't grow much, but will not die. You water only enough to keep the soil with enough moisture so it won't dry out and kill the roots.
Hi @Khang Starr, Is Important to quit old soil? I have 3 plants of habanero in pots and i have cut branches and I have added fertilizer but the soil and the pots are the same. Thanks for your help and great videos.
Thank you for sharing! You've inspired me to continue to grow birds eye chili plants. Got my first batch, and it stays really hot in Georgia, so good sun and heat, and the second plant is sprouting peppers! Where can I get the oil your talking about to spray on the plants before taking indoors? Thanks!
Look this up on Amazon: Bonide Neem oil I use it weekly on my outdoor peppers and it keeps all the aphids and diseases away. You can also use Thuricide pesticide if you have a problem with slugs or caterpillars. They are both all natural pesticides that work great got peppers
i didn't understand from 0:40 to 0:55 ...what u usually do before" someone can write me about it". Thank u Khang for useful video. My english is so...nevermind😂
I can still see the dislikes on all videos. This video has 194 dislikes right now. RU-vid creators targeted/eliminated the dislike button a little over a week ago forever for those people that harass or say negative feedback got their accounts reported. So it helps gives people’s channels a voice and to give less dislikes on all videos by hiding the dislike button. 🙂
@@kelvinsteffen9707 Ah ok, so cute of yt... Taking care about what people should think or not. Ha ha ha... And what do you think about this ? Btw beware not being deceived by some sort of lingo that's using words by giving them another meaning they have etymologically. Say rather yt founders instead of yt creators...
@@MrWookie21 yeah I made a fresh secondary account about 2 weeks ago to be able to see the dislikes. I can’t on this account but what i said in my first comment is true but the founders tried saying it in a different way so that way there is less hate on their video.
@@MrWookie21 as long as you make a new RU-vid account just be respectful and polite to other if not do not say anything bad or else they will remove the dislike counts to those ppls accounts.
@@kelvinsteffen9707 I don't care much about dislikes ; I just noticed this feature changed on yt. How can someone report somebody's putting a dislike under a video lol ? How does he know ? Well disrespect/hate is not a manichean concept under a people/human psychological basis/perspective. You don't switch from criticizing an opinion to hate a person, lol. You just may not agree with this person. And disrespect & hate are not synonymous either. But, when it concerns faith you can't for instance confuse Good with Bad, Truth with Lies, Righteousness with Corruption, Sincerity with Hypocrisy, Freedom with Slavery, Teachings with Manipulations, etc. In other words God with Evil. And when money starts to emerge somewhere, you may be sure corruption won't be long to emerge ; and all other bad aspects of Evil with it. This happenned to yt when advertizing, & monetizing appeared around 2011... And dragging corrupt people with it...
Great video. I am in the UK. If I do this, can I keep them in my greenhouse which is cold in winter but protects from frost? I have growing lights I can put over them. Also do you get as many peppers each year if you re-use the plant. I didnt know you could do this, and usually throw my bell pepper plants away. Can this work fir chilli peppers too?
Even though i live in the Caribbeans, when summer is over, i cut them down. my sour sop, peppers, and other plants, but never thought of cutting their roots. i thought that it would die. now i know that they don't. awesome video.
If you don't have freezing weather, you really don't need to cut down your plants. Many pepper and tomato gardeners in Florida USA have plants that are several years old. Terry Thomas Brookhaven Gardens Atlanta, Georgia USA USDA Zone: 7B
Hi , I saw lil white fungus over my overwintered pepper plant after 1 month of bringing it indoors... does this mean stem is dying ? I kept it in not so bright area .
For the longest time i didn't think any thing would beat Jalapenos and Cayenne. on chicken and meat. MY GOD was i WRONG. The habaneros are excellent, and even Better on chicken and things. I learnt 1 thing about Habaneros. Got to respect them or they can burn you up. So i use them for favor mostly. If you want it hotter? Just add more habaneros powder to it. It will light YOUR FIRE
I sure hope this works! I'd love to get a head start in the spring when mine come out of hibernation. It's going down in the 20s here tonight with our first bad freeze of the year here in Central Alabama. I harvested all my reapers, cut the plants back, dug them up and drug them inside. Maybe all will be OK with them. Thanks for the videos showing how to do this!
I have very good luck out of reusing my potting soil. so far 5 years, i just add more new to it. This is my 1st year to cut mine back and over winter. I usually just cut them down and use them for mulch. Restart from seeds. This year i want pepper trees and a early start on them. Well there tall any way! I cut them back to the last forked branches. and still a good 3' tall. Yes there sprouting new growth! i hope they don't get over 6' tall. That is perfect size so far. The type of peppers are? Fat Cayenne, and Orange habaneros YUM that all i grow any more! Oh they made some nice bushy tall small trees this year> 5 to 6' tall / Loaded with fruit.
Great video and advices! We winterized our two plants, it has been 3 weeks we ha e them indoors but no new shoots, your plant look really green, ours look brown and dry, please any ideas and tips? Thank you.
Great info! Thanks for showing how you do this! I know second year pepper plants are large and productive, and many people dont know they can be perennials. Thanks for the info!
Thats awesome :) I am up in Canada and going to try this with our reaper and scorpion this year - do you recommend grow lights and the tent or have you or anyone watching just had them in a bright warm windowsill all winter and them been ok? Thanks!
