[@SiriusStarGazer]

wow. Awesome. What liquid organic fertilizer do you use? I have some pepper planted and I like to keep everything organic. They are still seedlings. How long does a tree keep fruiting for. I see its almost 1 year and you were still get an abundant of fruit. Love It!

[@Liap]

Hello, I used fish mix until the plants started to grow flowers, then switched to compost tea and chicken manure fertilizer. These peppers can produce fruit for about 2 months., maybe even longer, but it was getting really cold over here around the final harvest. As you can see there are still some peppers left on the plants, they will never get to ripen though. Thank you very much!

[@SiriusStarGazer]

@@Liap Thank you for your response. I really apprecite it. I live in the Caribbean ( Trinidad and Tobago) so ideal weather for growing peppers. Thanks again. All the best. Keep the video coming, really enjoyed it. forgot to mention that all my plants are grown in pots.:)

[@Omegawerewolfx]

I always moisten the potting mix before I pack the containers. Makes it easier to have the material wet top to bottom without risking flushing seeds. I'm starting these peppers indoors soon. I'll overwinter them in the house, so I am hoping to have billions of peppers.

[@Liap]

Yes I agree, I still make this mistake 😐 thank you for pointing out. Good luck growing. It's quite a work to harvest them. I grew these peppers also in greenhouse, around 30 plants, and that took me a good few hours to harvest 🙂

Great seed to harvest video ! You nailed it !

[@Liap]

Thank you very much!

[@jacoubcanera2139]

Great video! I’m getting the seeds soon any advice on how to grow em?

[@Liap]

Soak the seeds in water day before you are going to plant them, it will improve the germination rate. And also, they need warm nights to produce fruit, just in case you would live in some of the colder areas. And if you are going to grow them in pots, have fertilizer ready, they are quite hungry 😋 Thank you very much!

[@semcclain1]

How big are your seed starter cells? They look a bit bigger than the ones I have so you are able to allow them to grow for longer than I probably would before transplanting. Great video and thanks!

[@Liap]

Hello and sorry for late response, the seedling tray cells are 5x4cm. It’s better to go with bigger seedling trays with peppers. Even bigger than what I used. Thank You very much 😊🍀

[@chompers11]

Awesome video. How would you describe your pinching or pruning technique? It seemed to work extremely well

[@Liap]

Hello, I wanted short and wide (tree form) plants, so main stem(s) would be without side shoots near plant's base (we have rainy autumns here with cold nights, having foliage too low to the cold and wet ground is a recipe for mildew). Just determine how many "main" stems You want to have that will carry the fruit and prune the plant that way. Thank you very much! 🙂

[@SilverSaabArc]

Wow, I would have to start these the year before I want ripe Charapita pods 😂. I thought that small of a Chinense might fruit sooner than my Baccatums, but I guess not! ❤

[@Liap]

Hello, yes Charapita takes long to grow from seed to fruit. I think it was January when I started these indoors. I will most likely grow them again next year, but in larger containers or grow bags.🌱🍀

[@kmv6394]

I grew these from seed and it took a whole year for them to even flower.. this is amazing. I got a few branches worth of fruit. What soil do you use? I feel that’s what went wrong, along with of course the environment. So awesome I love the production!

[@Liap]

Hello, I used mixture of compost and coco coir or peat. I am sure I mention it in the video, at least as far as I remember 🙂 You are right, aji charapita takes long time to grow from seed to fruit. I want to grow these again next year, but in bigger containers, these were really small for such long-growing platns. What is the environment like where You live? Thank You very much for your kind words 😊 I am very happy You like the video!

[@maxmuller9335]

Hello cool video! Where did you get the seeds from?

[@Liap]

Thank You very much! From local online seed store.

[@sandraantayhua6359]

In the germination process. It is watered every Day? Thanks

[@Liap]

Absolutely not. Only keeping the soil moist. If You want to make it easier, You can cover the pot with plastic wrapping (make sure to have some holes in it to allow airflow). This way You won’t have to water them until they germinate.

[@Liap]

Hello, I suppose we are "neighboors" 🙂 Yes, they can be grown for few years. Either growing them outside through the growing season and bringing them inside for winter, or they can be grown indoors all year round. I grew some chilli peppers for 2 years in the past, so I think these would be no different. Thank You very much! ☺

how do the peppers taste and how spicy are they?

Hello, they taste kind of fruity but still spicy. More than I thought actually ♨🌶

[@frankstucatz3270]

Great video! I'm from Toronto Canada and started germinating my seeds today. Do you dry them seeing how many you have? I can imagine it being a pain to dry seeing how tiny they are. I normally use a food dehydrator

[@Liap]

Hello, yes I dried them on window net (in horizontal position) and covered with fine gauze. I still have these, dried in a cloth bag, around 400grams dried peppers (together with greenhouse harvest). Drying was easy, the "pain" was to harvest the greenhouse plants, it takes time to pick them one by one 🙂 Thank you very much for watching and taking time to leave a comment! Good luck growing your Charapitas 🍀 I was to Toronto few years ago, that's such a huge city when compared to the one I live in 🤠

[@frankstucatz3270]

@Life in a pot Thank you kindly for taking time to reply! I recently moved about 1.5 hours north of Toronto. Population of about 20,000. It's more my pace of living....lol! I'm assuming that drying them whole would take a bit longer even being as tiny as they are. I usually cut my peppers in half when I dry them. I have a variety of seeds germinating from lemon drop to Dragons breath and a few in between. I really hope my Aji have a decent success rate. I've been wanting to try growing them for a while! I didn't soak them mind you. Straight to the moist paper towel method which is how I do all my veggies 👍🏼😊

[@Dave_the_Dave]

How many seeds did you start, and how many germinated, to result in the 4 plants?

I don't remember how many seeds it was, but I was growing most of them in greenhouse. Just these 4 went to containers.

[@Luzangelicaolguin]

Wow! I'm so jealous at you man! How often do I watering the plants?

[@Liap]

Hello, nothing to be jealous about, these are pretty easy to grow 🙂 I was watering these every day on hot sunny summer days, and about every third day on cloudy days. I plan to grow these in much bigger containers next year (exactly for that reason). Thank You very much! ☺

[@rahiarman123]

i heard that they have a good smell in them....and after consuming these smell comes out from your mouth sometimes ....is it true

[@rameshshankar1010]

[@anonymanonym6472]

How do you detect unwanted branches and why do you remove them?

[@Liap]

"unwanted" in the meaning of those which if I let grow, will create non-desired shape or could cause too dense foliage, which can lead in plants being more susceptible to diseases. I wanted short and wide (tree form) plants. I will want to grow these in future in much larger containers and see how big can they grow in this climate 🙂
