In this episode we are discussing how to grow peppers in containers.
They are very rewarding and fun to grow. This video will hopefully get
you growing them too! We discuss how to grow them when it comes to
nutrient requirements, sunlight, watering, spacing, and soil type.

Will I be able to find bone meal, blood meal, and green sand (I hope I got that right) all at my local nursery? They are common?
Hi. Thanks for this video. I watched it quite a lot last year and now I am back watching it again as I get ready for the gardening season. Last year I grew a few peppers in smaller pots(maybe the size you reco’d here) and a few other in 3 gallon pots. The ones in the 3 gallon pots were incredibly better. Huger, taller, way more fruit, better all-around. This year I am thinking of trying a 5 gallon pot. Would love to see a video on the difference in these type of plants (peppers and tomatoes) based on the size of the container.
Thoughts on using urine for fertilizer?
I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. This is my second year growing vegetables in pots as I live in an apartment. I have used miracle grow. Is it okay to use it? also, my neighbor dumped their mop bucket from their top balcony and I am so upset it came into my plants. who knows what chemicals were in that water and now I am not sure if I should use the veggies. (complained to the leasing office..)
I've been watching quite a few videos on gardening now and you are my very favourite teacher. I live on the Gulf of Mexico and w/sandy soil. Please make sure to include needs we have round here.

Does anybody have specific advice for overwintering peppers that are grown in containers year-round? Can you just bring them in or should you still cut back the foliage for the lower-sunlight months? (I’m zone 4)
do you put drain holes in the bottom?
What kind of soil do you like? Is that just potting soil?
Can I use fresh jalapeño pepper seeds ?
Thanks
Thank you
If I'm buying my soil from a garden store, what should I be looking for? Is potting mix enough, or do I need to add something to it?

I bought a bag of soil but when I opened it there was white stuff (I think it is mold). Is it still okay to use?

I’m going to try planting for the first time and I’m going to start with a pepper in a pot.
What is the fertilizer process. How often and how is actually done ?
5:03 poor worm got crushed
You don't need cages?
Were there holes in the bottom of the container?
With frost warnings into May I started my tomatoes this year indoors from seeds, then moved them to pots outdoors. I think I made a mistake in putting multiple seeds in the hole bcuz now I have two distinct main stalks in each pot, less than an inch apart. Wondering if I should cut off one so that crowding won't be an issue. Thoughts?
as far as insoluble fertilizers go, i have yet to find better then rainbow bloom pro mix and Natures pride veg. Bloom is the best stuff for flowering plants and natures pride veg for leafs, or before flowering. incredible stuff and encourage you to check it out and look what it's made from – microbial gold! and no, it's NOT only for bud, but for food, flowers and everything else.
I'm excited. I just planted jalapeno, Shishito, hot wax, Better Belle, and others. Plus tomatoes including the Sweet 100 cherry tomatoes. First plants I've had in years.
Idk if this is a good thing but I'm waiting 2 weeks before I apply time release fertilizer to make sure they are set in the pots. Also had to use bird nets because the chipmunks were eating them all and I had to buy more.
When growing peppers in a pot should I use one of those drainage plate things that the pot sits on
Thanks for the suggestions. I have not had great success growing bell peppers here in Florida. I know sunshine isn't the issue and I keep the soil moist and I've been using a mixture of regular potting soil marketed for vegetables along with mixing in composted cow manure and thought that would be enough. Our soil is very high in lime content due to a combined fossilized coral and fossilized shells and it is very light tan in color and I do mix that in. I'm not sure if I have a fungi issue or not but now I'm thinking maybe I should not remove the mushrooms that are constantly growing my the containers. The easiest fix I think is to add Epson salts as I have five pounds of it on hand as I use it for medical purposes and it is cheap. So I wills start with that and see if that makes a difference. My peppers turn red when they are about an inch and a half long though they taste fine that way. In fact they are very flavorful they just never get very big. My neighbor who is Mexican insists I need to hold back the water but if I don't water 5-6 times a week in the summer they just shrivel up and die. Thanks again for the tips.
I have a dumb question I want to start growing in pots due to I live in Florida a lot of hurricane and I don't want them to die if god forbidden we get one this year…..my question is, is the rain bad for herbs and vegetables? I feel dumb to even ask that to the fact that people grow their things outside but like I said it's a hurricane season and it rains pretty much every day or every other day….
"complete growing guide" yet he starts with an already well established plant. What happened between seed and where this video started?
