Growing Peppers in Containers

I updated the thumbnail with a new pic that shows the status of the peppers just 2 weeks after posting the video. Everything is looking good!!!

In this video we are growing peppers in pots. I will go over my complete process for growing peppers in containers and how I ensure a bountiful pepper harvest all season long. We will discuss best container size, what to fill our containers with, how to feed our pepper plants, watering our pepper plants and much more!

This is my first year growing peppers in a container so I followed all of your instructions in this video. My plants are the bigger, healthier, and with more fruit than I could have imagined. Thank you so much.

Using large felt growbags I used for potatoes last year, think they should have more than enough drainage! Looking forward to growing some peppers.

Thank you for your Great video, I like yours because you talk slow, I can understand every word, as we get older we cannot pick the words up so quickly, I live outside Brisbane Australia and its time to get our peppers in for spring, thank you again.

Thank you for great video ! I did not understand. Can I use the soil of last year ? I will mix it with fertilizer.

EXCELLENT video, Riley! How often do you water the pepper plants on a hot day, 95-100 degrees?

[danieletucci]

Great video, very helpful. What type of container do you recommend? I try self water containers and my plants died. Will be great if you can make a video about it 😀. Appreciate it

Do you know why they will get root rot in soil but not in Hydroponics? Serious question my Hydroponics always do better than potted in soil

[jackiebyers]

LOVE your videos - so informative!
1 question about this one though - How do you raise your containers off the ground? Yours look just like they are sitting on the saucer. Help please as I'm planting now. Thank you!

Very informative. I have been trying to grow bell peppers in containers for a couple years now. I don't start from seed, I just buy the inserts from the store.

The problems I always have is 1) my peppers never get to full size before they ripen. 2) They grow very leggy and don't produce much fruit and 3) I always get blossom end rot. What am I doing wrong? What do I need to do differently?

I use fish fertilizer the liquid kind, worm castings and egg shells but I'm not sure if it's working. Maybe I'm just doing something wrong. Also the bugs 🐛 be eating my leaves off my pepper plants.

Thanks for such a great video. You have a new follower here. I live in Houston TX by the way. It's always hot and humid here and we get lots of rain each year. If you can help me resolve the issues I'm having, I will greatly appreciate it. Thanks again. I look forward to hearing from you soon. God bless.

What Kind of PH are we looking for in the soil for peppers, Neutral, acidic?

[bluegrasscrazy]

Its nitrogen phosphorus then potassium....

[marilyncarranza]

While your pepper plants are growing, Do you add more fertilizer later on?

Please edit video to increase volume - cannot hear what your saying, yet with other people's videos volume is good.
