VIDEO: Growing Sweet Peppers in Coconut Coir: Journey from Seed to Harvest


Welcome! This video documents the life cycle of a pepper plant from seed to harvest. The plant thrived in a small container indoors in the coconut coir. I had to feed it every 2 weeks with Miracle Grow since the coconut coir does not contain any nutrients that I know of. In the end the plant produced a beautiful, red, delicious crop of sweet peppers. Thank you for watching!

  1. I don't know how you grow your pepper plant so beautiful , my pepper plant after 10 days transfering to bigger pot the leaf starts to wrinkle and grow small and then stops growing . Thanks for sharing 🙂

  2. I cut my sweet pepper back last autumn and it grew back again in spring. The crop is as good or better than last summer. It's a largish, long , bent red pepper, mild flavoured.

  3. You keep expanding the list of veggies I want to grow cause you make it look easy! I was going to catch a few lady bugs and throw them in my grow room so they can control pests AND pollinate! Seems that a lot of plants are self pollinators so I might just pick those varieties. Neat trick though!

  4. Thanks for confirming what I was struggling to understand. I have peppers growing under grow lights using compost but I have been worrying as to why they were not getting very tall and have started to get black stems. 
    I see from your tests that the plants do not need to reach for the light as they are getting enough so will end up smaller.
    Will be trying Coir next. Great video.

  5. Thank you so much, I enjoyed that immensely. So informative for me anyway because I have been looking for a video on indoor growing in coconut coir, and now I’m ready to plant the seeds.
