How To Cross Pollinate Pepper Plants To Create A New Type Of Pepper

Once you know how to cross pollinate peppers, it's pretty easy to do with just a little bit of practice. In this video, I'll show you how I will tell you a little about the parts of a pepper flower, then I will show you step by step how I manually cross pollinate two peppers. There are several different techniques that you can use to cross pollinate peppers. In this video, I'll show you the way that I believe is the easiest. To begin with, you emasculate a pepper flower. Then you take pollen from a different pepper plant and transfer pollen to the emasculated flower. Let me know if you decide to give this a try once you've seen how to do it. Thanks for watching!

I did it!! Thank you so much for this video!! I cross pollinated a Carolina Reaper with a Dragons Breath pepper and now I have 3 little peppers starting on that plant. I've also crossed Carolina Reaper with Trinidad Scorpion Peppers and have 4 little peppers growing. Im excited to collect seeds from these and grow those. Thank you so much!

Very interesting, looking forward to seeing what you're going to be planting this year.🤗

Good Morning - excellent demonstration as it appears to be a very delicate process finding the right stage of the flowers to cross pollinate. As a new gardener, I am very interested in new things and thanks so much for showing this process. Have a good weekend!

This is such a great explanation of the parts of the plant that 'make the magic happen' - thanks for sharing!

I have to get better at growing peppers before I tackle another thing. Thanks. I saved the video for later.

A really fun process. Thanks for the share!

Very interesting, Thanks for sharing.

That sure is a very interesting and educational video. You must have a very steady hand and have a lot of patience to complete the task. I've tried pollinating squash and zucchini but never that precise. I'm glad you explained the F-1 and F-2. I wasn't sure how that works. Thanks for sharing this video with us. I wish you continued success with your pepper experiments.
Ms. Odapeno pepper plants are 8"-10" tall. And Ms Bundaberg tomato plants are about 2' tall . Both doing well. Thought you would like to know. Have a great weekend.
One female swallowtail butterfly spotted this week.🐛🐛🐛🐛🐛 Yeah.

That was fascinating. Going to nickname you "Dr. Pepper". Quite the surgery you perform :) Thanks for showing us how it's done.

[granadilla]

Hahah, it's funny last year I was watching your video about best tomato. And today, as I plan to cross my pepper plants.... You are the one giving me answers AGAIN :)
Thanks for your dedication and for sharing your knowledge. Maybe I'll create the perfect new strain to me, with your good advices :)

Just came across your channel and I am loving it! Thank you for the great info! New sub here.

Really nice demonstration. That diagonal straw trick is a good one, Eric Knight has a lot of useful tips like that. You can also cut one side and pinch them closed tighter.
