Plant your peppers deep, build soil around the stems and they'll send out additional roots. Cut them back and they'll send out armies of multiple stems for a stronger and more productive pepper plant.

ps: No steroids were used in the filming of this video.........although I did drink 2 diet cokes.

  • Sir, came across your videos this morning and have watched, enjoyed and learned.

    I too have always read that you should not transplant peppers deeper like you do with tomatoes and was fascinated to see you show it can be done.

    Question, have you ever tried that on pepper plants you planted outdoors?

    Thanks again.

  • @Saracen6969 Yes, I transplanted a thai pepper plant into the garden shortly after this video and showed it in a program. The harvest was insanely huge. The plant grow amazingly tall and needed no staking whatsoever even when fully loaded with peppers. By the way the plant was planted deep as I plant my tomatoes.

  • Can I continue to do this indoors and then plant it outside this spring?

  • @Gaho2Many Yep. I always start mine indoors early and transplant them outdoors during the spring.

  • Mr Ray, did the rooting method work on those peppers? Just had to watch this video again, and again and..........

  • @HoschtonBoy Yes the peppers grew roots from buried stems. Not as many roots as a tomato would but they grew some and every bit helps.

  • Hey praxxus!! I just wanted to spread some good info to you and your pepper plants. What I use to feed my pepper plants and mango tree is this (Rite Green Citrus Avocado & Mango Fertilizer 4-6-8) you can buy this at walmart. My cayenne plant is barely a foot tall, just a lot more bushier and MAN this plant is fruiting about 80+ peppers on there. Im loving it, theres buds all over this thing!! Its great to use this fertilizer for all trees that produces fruit! Gives them more yields! Enjoy

  • @woodgate50 Absolutely! They should grow pretty well since they're already established and healthy.

  • Hi Praxxus I kept six chilli plants over the winter . Do you think they will grow well this year.
