Red Bell Pepper Time Lapse - Seed To Fruit in 115 Days

This one took 4 months to make, but it was totally worth it. And the peppers tasted great! :)
The plant made a ton of flowers but i removed most of them and left just a few to make sure it would have the strength to grow. Pollination was done with a small paint brush but the flower i was aiming on apparently didn't get pollinated and died. Luckily there was a couple other flowers in the same shot.
Leave a comment if you want to suggest something for us to grow! any ideas are welcome, even exotic and long ones!
I hope you will enjoy the video, back again next week!

[@gilliantherese7202]

Do I need to pollinate at all or just let the plant be? Do I need to remove some of the flowers or will they die & fall off on their own? Does the type of soil matter? Thank you for sharing this, I'd like to try it... :-)

[@Boxlapse]

I pollinate by hand using a fine paint brush. If the flowers are not pollinated they will fall off, the ones that are pollinated will become a fruit. I removed a lot of my flowers (probably 20+) to make sure my plant had the strength to produce a couple of nice peppers for the video, but if i wasn't filming i would have let most of them be and moved the plant into a bigger pot. For the soil you can just buy a bag of potting mix meant for vegetables, that's what i did :). Just make sure that it gets a lot of sunlight (or use a grow light) and when the plant gets bigger you can give some fertilizer every now and then.

[@Ruriraia]

@@Boxlapse would love to see how you pollinated your plants and maybe give some tips & tricks 😁

[@michaelbest7872]

@@Boxlapse I have a follow up question... First, last year I tried growing a pepper plant from seeds from a pepper, like this video. I kept it in the window, inside the house. They sprouted after 2 weeks. But they only grew to about 1 inch high before they died. So what happened? When I took the seeds, I cleaned them and dried them before planting. Was that the problem?

[@AstiJay]

@@Ruriraia my mom would hand pollinate, nothing fancy. She used a cheap little artist brush to pick up the pollen from one flower and dusted it on to another flower and usually to a different plant (same species of course).

try a different pepper, you may have gotten a hybrid. they won't grow for you....try organic

[@soulseeker42388]

Did you pull the seed straight from the pepper like this person?..... it most likely will never pop because it has germination inhibiting bacteria on it and the seeds were not fermented which helps remove this bacteria and help promote more frequent germination.

[@soulseeker42388]

@Windows 10 i dont believe so... i have never germinated a pepper seed out side of a solo cup with soil so idk what their tap roots look like. But there is a small super thin membrane on most every seed just under the shell that is like a second layer of protection and allows only the water to seep inside the seed to start germination But to be 100% honest with you im not sure on that question.. Its not impossible to grow a pepper this. It is just a lesser germination percentage and may take up to over a month before you actually see a sprout
