1. Planted too early
2. Not enough sun or too much
3. Improper spacing
18 inches spacing preference
4. Improper watering
Water from below and gently
5. Using the wrong fertiliser
Very sensitive to nitrogen
6. Not pruning them
If you don't prune them it will be tall
and produce less growth points
7. Not staking them
8. Not continually harvesting
9. Not keeping on top of pests
Spray with neem oil or aspirin 60ml of uncoated aspirin in a cup of water in a blender add to a gallon of water then spray
10. Not over wintering
I always prune off the bottom branches up the stem about 4 inches kept clear. IF they produce fruit, they break off every time and can tear. Sun Scald can also be caused from LOW CALCIUM/Magnesium. I add Cal/Mg weekly to Liquid fertilizer. (q7-10 days unless temp over 100) Peppers, tomaotes, potatoes are all nightshade, and can get BER with low calcuim uptake when soil dries out repeated time and cannot absorb nutrients.
You're the greatest❤
Thanks for the quick summary!!
Will the aspirin trick work on tomato plants and or other vegetable plants? Thank you for that great list of helps.
@Zsolt Vecsernyes It does. In his tomato series, he discusses it. Think it's the grow tomatoes not leaves vid, but not 100% sure.
On the advice of an older central European woman I started planting my peppers about a foot apart rather than 18". She said the leaves of the plants should touch each other as flowering begins.Planting them a bit closer than 18 increased my fruit production A LOT. The Habaneros looked like fully decorated Christmas trees as the peppers ripened through their colors. Most people would say my plants looked crowded.... but man o man did they produce. All varieties,,, bells , habs, jalapeno, thai. Also I run my pole beans along the west garden fence which provides the semi shade in the afternoon
Thank you!!
I did the same thing. I planted 6 hungarian banana peppers in the space you might reccomend 3-4 plants.... wayyyy to many peppers. It was a chore to pick they were exploding with pepers late into the season.
Thanks for this tip
😂😂😂😂1❤❤❤😂
I wintered my peppers without realizing it a few years ago I had one in a potted plant from a season prior and I kept it in doors and kept it alive it was down to next to no leaves and I thought it was dead but it was sleeping and come the spring put it in the window and it bounced back fiercely and ended up giving me quite a few peppers so I definitely like that idea.

I had no idea that pepper plants shouldn’t be dug up and discarded after growing season. Thanks Brian. I finally confessed to my neighbors the source of my new found gardening expertise.
Love this format, direct coverage of topic without too much fluff!
I'm over 70 and I remember my granddad telling me when I was very young and allowed to help in the garden to never plant tomatoes anywhere near a walnut tree and I always followed that rule. Glad to hear that you agree. Thank you.
I transplanted dozens of black walnut trees at the back of my property to make a natural high wall. Delicious nuts too. And little invades that wall. My garden is about 20 feet away, no problems at that distance. Walnut oil is very good to preserve wood too.
ㅕ
"Walnuts and butternuts produce a compound called juglone that is toxic to many other plants. Tomatoes and other members of the nightshade family are particularly susceptible. They can wilt suddenly when in contact with juglone from the roots, husks or uncomposted leaves of the walnut tree. The walnut tree's roots can extend beyond the dripline of the tree, so even if the tomatoes are not planted directly under the tree, they can absorb juglone exuded by the roots."
@Valchrist1313 thanks cause I was like what
That TIP on ASPRIN is GENIUS!! 💚💚💚🌼🌼🌼🌞🌞🌞
I'm wondering if BC powder will work.
Wish there was a love button, did not know you could replant peppers from existing plants like that. Going to try the aspirin trick now
Great advice. I had a lot of peppers in pots over the winter. I had to bring them into a little greenhouse eventually. For the summer I put them in a group under Live Oaks to prevent sun scald. They did beautifully with tons of fruit. I'm sort of a bunch grower now. I've been concentrating on one type of plant. Two years ago it was all basil .I am still eating home made Pesto.
Sigh. Socially distancing my plants is so hard. I always want to pack things in cuz I have a small space. But i try 😁
I have a tip for you - plant them in 1-gallon size pots individually (with big holes at the bottom for the roots to grow through. Then bury them in the ground or in some soil in a tote. That way you can plant them closer together and the pot they are in will ensure they're getting the fertilizer you add. Bonus - earthworms like to collect under plastic pots and they will generate fertilizer for each individual pepper plant!
@Robert Shorthill sorry about your Pepper misfortune. I am doing a side by side test of identical plants, and am realizing that pruning success has soooo many variables, your growing environment and climate, the time of year, the size of the plant, the variety of pepper, etc etc. For me, pruning has so far not made a conclusive difference. It has consistently set the plants growth back by a couple of weeks, but they have typically caught up. The unpruned twin on the other hand develops a firm main stalk and then sends out side shoots - same effect as pruning. Well, for me, pruning seems to not make a significant enough positive difference, so I won't be doing it going forward. Will of course do a final conclusion at the end of the growing season.
Green Love: Exactly❣️ Weather has Been Tough This Year.. I’m NoT giving up❣️🙏🥰
@Robert Shorthill I tried snipping tops on some of my poblanos and not on others, it didn't make a difference, mostly because only one of my poblanos thrived, the others were tiny disappointments. Not sure why, maybe I planted them too late or not enough sun. Will try again next year.

I’m in CO and I had no idea you could overwinter pepper plants! I’m very much looking forward to your next video on this subject!
Oh yeah, the sun 🌞 in the afternoon 👍 great tip
I have learned a lot from your videos. Thank you I will be working on some of your tips this week
I love how you present the information. Easy to listen to because you're straight to the point
Learned a lot, thanks Brian. Great advice. Wishing you health and happiness.
I’m just starting veggie gardening and watching many of your videos over and over. Thank you for your helpful information. My sweet potato slips just popped up and I’m so excited! Can’t wait to plant! 🦋
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Thank you so much for that information I will use it wisely
Really well made vid, nice location for shooting too. Clear, concise and good knowledge. Thanks!
Thank you for taking the time to educate! This will be my first garden and, thus, first take on growing peppers. I'm grateful for those who impart wisdom so I can avoid mistakes.
I didn't know most of this knowledge! Thank you kind sir!
I always learn something when I watch your videos. Thank you for making them and sharing your knowledge.
First year growing will def try wintering my peppers cheers for the info 👍👍👍👍
WOW. Thank you for letting us know about overwintering. Been gardening for 30 yrs & I still learn new tricks & tips from YOU!! I live in Massachusetts & inevitably I always have one plant I wish I could have the following year but never knew I could. Now Im REALLY looking forward to your video on the hows!
WOW! That was FULL of great information! Thank you so much ❤️.
This is another one of my favorite guys to watch gardening!!!
Loved this video. Total newbie to gardening! I’ve started a grow bag garden. These tips have helped me and have encouraged me to look at more of your videos! I know I’ll feel better prepared and knowledgeable.
Thank you. I’ll prune my pepper plants now. Great video!
Thanks Pickles. This is very helpful.
I appreciated the amount of detail you gave with your tips. I wasn't left to wonder. Thanks.
Just starting a garden on the flip side (Down under), your tips have been helpful.
I’m so
Glad you said I could dig up the plant at the end of the season. I’ll be making new raised beds and was worried I would lose all my plants! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, very helpful. Hope your well.
Thank you! I learned so much from this video! Love that you can save your pepper plants for next year! I am going to try to save mine by bringing them into the house over winter since I grow in Colorado.
I really needed this video, thank youI am awful at growing peppers, but with your help, next season i will rock them finally!YThank you!
Thank you for the info. I learned why a few things went wrong in my garden last year. Good tips, very much appreciated.
Love the logic and sensibility and capability
Brian, thanks so much for all of the tips on growing peppers. I didn't realize they were perennials and living in Florida gives me more options for growing peppers. I do appreciate the site for getting the uncoated aspirins. I will try to boost the immune system for the peppers, tomatoes and egg plants. Your videos are very informative and have become my "go to" videos for gardening.
I also wish you the best with your new home and gardening ideas for the property.
Always ALWAYS learn something new from you!! 👏🏼
Thank you!
Such absolutely excellent information on peppers!! I appreciate it 😊
Thanks. Good delivery style and helpful information!
I hope you never stop making videos!! Thank you sooooo much for everything! !!!!!!
I'll make them as long as people will watch them
Thank you for the information! I didn’t know about the pruning, aspirin or staking! I hope I’m not too late!
Awesome video! Especially about wintering
Loved learning I can keep pepper plants over the winter! A great jump start next year! Also liked the uncoated aspirin idea! Thank you.
I moved from the gulf coast to zone 6b. Lots of differences in gardening between the two. Your video was so comprehensive that it covered most of my questions. Also great to learn peppers are perennials. Thanks a bunch!
Can't wait for the video on wintering pepper plants! Who knew?!
As a first time vegetable gardener this info has been a great help. Thank you !
I love your videos good honest advice given in an interesting upbeat way with no waffle
That aspirin tip is a good one that I'm going to use once I can find my hand held sprayer. As always, thank you for all the work that you put into your videos.
I can’t wait to try to over winter my peppers. Love that thought because it’s free. 😂
Yes! And they'll do even better next year!
I can't believe I've never heard that this can be done. I've been wasting my time and money by not trying to save the peppers!
Megan MacKenzie - Ugh. Well, at least now you know and can over winter your plants. 😉
California Garden TV - 😳 Considering how well they’ve done this year I can’t wait!
@@NextLevelGardening I had no idea. Now I know to take them in if it gets too cold. Thank you.
I love the aspirin tip. Never knew that. Thank you Brian.
Thank you so much for the tips and explaining them so well and slow enough so I could take notes :)
Peppers have always been my least successful crop, probably because I've been very successful at making a number of the mistakes on your list! 🙄
Me too and I dont understand why.
Peppers are so darned hard to grow and produce. I did get three smallish bell peppers the by the end of August. Will try and keep the pepper plants going for next season too. Good idea. Gotta be the amount of sunlight I think. Thank you for all the ideas.
Well the leaves get wet when it rains though.
That salicylic acid trick sounds great. How old are they when you start that?
@@carljosephson5480 in my case basil
You have so much information, I just can’t remember it all !!! Love watching your videos !
i brought my bell peppers inside and they produced great peppers in my pots, red and yellow.
Very informative.
Thank you
Awesome gardening tips
I learned pretty much all mistakes I have done. Thank you looking forward to growing beautiful peppers.
I'm in the UK and I've tried exactly that - overwintering two pepper plants in my porch - so far, so good. I didn't know to pinch them out, so I'll be doing that when the right time comes along. I didn't get a good growing result last year, so with your great tips, I'm hoping for a great yield. Thank you.
I'm glad I rewatched this! I almost forgot the aspirin!!
Thank you so much for the knowledge on the peppers and tomatoes to given me a lot to think about!
So very informative. I just love your videos. My vegetable garden is much improved with your help
I definitely swear by your pruning technique. I’m so glad I watched the video just in time to prune. It produced so much more fruit than any other year I’ve grown them.
Didn't know about the nitrogen sensitivity. Thanks!
Love the overwintering idea...will definitely try that.will save loads of time
Thank you my friend 👍. Watching from across the pond. Thanks for sharing. Robbo
It's a coincident how I just bought a pepper tree and tomato and was wondering how to take care off them and here comes you video thank you well appreciated great advice helps a lot.
Mindreader🤣🤣
Excited to see the next video Brian! I live in MD and have cold winters, so looking forward to having my peppers come back the following year. You are such an amazing teacher! Love your videos!
Thank you 🙂
How on earth did I miss this video, I needed it! I’m a first time pepper grower. I have overwintered a few and so far so good. Thank you!
I just love your videos! You do a great job teaching and explaining in detail. 🙏
Awesome advice thank you. I grow my peppers indoors and they are doing great. Will harden some of them in Spring before I plant them out. I just started about a month and a half ago growing peppers and love it. My plants are growing well. Thank you for your advice
I’m already seeing more bell peppers this year and I’ve harvested 4 so far. I don’t think I was able to harvest any before August in the past.
I am happy for your tips especially the fertilizer and aspirin thanks
I learned I did quite a bit wrong last year!! New year, new approach!! Thanks for this informative video.
Awesome! Love the videos on specific plants and all the ins and outs! Keep them coming. This one came just in time. I am getting ready to plant my peppers today. One question: Do peppers benefit from sulfur? I was told by an older gardener to put matches in the hole when you plant peppers. I know the matches of today are different from the past so not sure how beneficial this would be. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your knowledge with us!
Aye carumba…… I’m making a few mistakes! Thanks for the clear info! Looks like I need to either change locations or add shade cloth. I did purchase the Neptune products and did a feeding today.
I had never heard about pruning peppers! Thanks
I love your presentations; thorough, clear, concise and just a bit of humor. Just discovered you, so it remains to be seen if I will have a better garden this year.
Always great advice and as usual... learned some things that I didn’t know!! Should be a mandatory/core class in schools!! Everyone should know just how gratifying and actually easy planting your own garden can be!! I know, I was almost 50 before I planted mine, upon my brother’s insistence!! 😊 so glad he was hardheaded!!
Totally agree gardening should be a required class in school I was lucky enough to go to a school where each class each grade had their own garden every year it was amazing so grateful to my mother for put us in such a great school thank you mom
I would have hated taking this sort of class growing up, but now that I'm older, I wish they would have offered something similar. 4H was probably the closest thing our school had.
@@youbetterwakeup2449 LOL I was forced labor on my brothers farm/garden so I needed no such class but received a priceless education on feeding myself.
It was more than I know I did not know. Pheww.
I am 54 and put in my first garden this season, its hard work but rewarding in many ways, this channel had helped me greatly
Thank you for you're great advice. I've heard about the cross-pollination with hot and sweet peppers, but didn't know it was actually in the seed from the fruit. Very interesting! How deep should I plant my pepper in the soil? Or should I do it in the solo cup as you did with the tomato's? Thank you again, you are teaching me a lot.
THANK YOU ! GREAT LECTURE ! I HAVE LEARNED A LOT !
You have an amazing teaching style. Succinct yet LOTS of great application. I found your tomato video yesterday and couldn’t wait to watch the pepper one today. Thanks for posting these videos. I know my garden will be better because of you and your videos.
Good morning, Brian. Greetings from Lavonia, Georgia! Thank you for these instructional videos. You are really helping me to become a better gardener.
Thanks❤
Yes, he's helped me so much with all my gardening.
I swear, every time I watch one of your videos I learn at least one new and useful thing! Definitely going to try the aspirin trick, and you just saved my serrano plant from going on the compost heap come November - instead I'll prune it, move it to a pot , and see how it does. Thank you!
Thats my goal!
I learned about the aspirin trick and that you can over winter them. Thank you, this was very helpful
Did not know about pruning pepper plants. Thank you.
Brian, you've reached over 300K followers! You are doing great, I still love your videos, keep up the great work! Oh, and I hope your headaches are getting better!
Thank you! And they are😃👍
Nurtec ODT is a new migraine medicine from Biohaven
Once I started taking magnesium daily, my migraines went away!
I learned the aspirin trick and over wintering. Thanks
You're welcome!
Over winter my peppers?!?!?Awesome!
Definitely a must see vlog on peppers!!!!!
Hi Brian, I have beem following your excellent tips and they all are great help for achieving the best results from my plants - a big thank you 😃
Going to try the aspirin thing you talked about
I wintered about 6 sweet peppers and 4 hot pepper plants, they've been doing fine all winter in pa
Thank you for all of your tips. Between you and one other youtuber I have learned a lot about gardening and understand some things I did wrong and some things I can do better. Thank you again!
Your videos will get me through my peppers!! Incredibly good information! Thank you :)
One thing here in New Mexico we do is plant them extremely close together. They like to hold hands in our exceptionally hot weather in Southern New Mexico and helps protect them from sunburn. We had a surprise snow in October that took out a lot of my pepper plants and then we got an exceptionally deep snow with multiple days of freezing weather so I will be starting over. But my pepper bed has a lot of pods that have fallen so that's OK. When thing I did 2 years ago is cross a mad hatter pepper with a mild yellow banana pepper and last year I got some great results from that I'm hoping to repeat it this year. They were not only beautiful they tasted fantastic.
Your being in New Mexico made me think of Jalapenos. A friend gave me two jars of jalapeno peppers with green and red mild peppers. almost like a relish but longer bits of pepper. The brine was almost like the sweetness of Bread and Butter Pickles. Maybe onion in it also. It makes a beautiful mild relish. I may try making my own next year.
