Last year, I had a problem with earwigs chewing leaves. I dusted the leaves with diatomaceous earth and that helped cut down on the chewing activity. Neem oil works; but, make sure it is 100% cold pressed oil. Gary from The Rusted Garden posted a video recently on how to mix up the neem oil with the soap and water.

Mahalo for the tip, I'll do that with my next pepper plants...the one I have now is almost 5 ft. and not very bushy...hope you and the family had a great weekend

Pruning is essential for sure... My big pepper plants came from the nursery and all had some pruning done so they're getting bushy. My _late_ seedlings aren't quite ready yet but I *won't* be topping these. I have 5-6 each of four varieties and I plan on growing them small, in 2.5-gallon pots= "a sea of peppers" that I will collect seeds from.

I love topping off my pepper plants. You are so right, there is way more production in my opinion 😊

[ZEAC]

I will have to do this to my tall spindly pepper seedlings?

I'm pruning my peppers for the first time this year and WOW, I can't believe the difference! My only worry is that since I'm also in zone 8b, will we have a long enough growing season for them to actually produce mature peppers? I know we're in the same zone so I'm hoping you can let me know? Thanks a bunch!

Can I do this safely on pepper plants that are 12-15” tall? Also what do you recommend to feed them regularly with?

[vanae]

Can you do this if the plant has already started producing peppers?

[newwavepressure]

Mine r staying small and bushy i think they where topped at yhe store i did see flowers i pulled yhem off. But y so small ???

[alicenakajima]

Is it too late to prune my older pepper plants that are about a foot tall?

[Josh_Green]

This method is most effective for changing the shape/habit of the plant, but it doesn't necessarily produce an increase in peppers. I've done comparisons, and the difference in production was negligible. It does make for a bushier plant, though, which requires less staking/support.

And for the insects attacking your leafs, use need oil plus water and add dish soap so the oil will wix well...then spray it on your pepper leafs
