For real, this kind of bonnet pepper is quite pricey per kg in the market.. I love spicy, I put chili in every foods, cannot live without chili.. I feel glad to find your channel.. I'll try to grow my own pepper.. Thank you & much love from 🇫🇷
@Le Cobra You are right. I bought few chillies from a supermarket and collected their seeds to grow new plants. They produced lots of chillies as you saw them in the video.
My mouth watering when seeing your chillis. When I'm eating rice I always pick peppers from mom's garden and dip them in salt water and take a bite with rice. I'm a big chilli lover. Sir, may god bless you to grow more and more.😍
I wanted to try this for the longest and this helps me to finally do it. Thank you for your video. But also a big thanks for answering 'all' our questions. I learn a lot by reading the questions and your and other's answers in the comment section.
I live in NZ, and bought some seeds from a UK website a few years ago and tried planting them. A couple of plants did manage to produce around 12 big ones, so I froze them, and used them sparingly as we don’t get them here. I tried again a couple of years ago and got only 4. I shall persevere using your method, as I love their fruity flavour and intense heat.
Hi. You can collect chilli seeds from your own plants or shop-bought ones. They are free and germinate better as they are fresh. This chilli is not F1 hybrid, so they come out true like mother plant. This year I grow them again using my own saved seeds. They did quite well. You can see them from the link below. th-cam.com/video/D5FXB4L-iGM/w-d-xo.html
I just found your channel, so I’m doing my best to copy what you did with my habanero seeds I taking them from a habanero, and I also have some green onion seeds, so I’m a try to germinate them to the same way you did doesn’t hurt to try I’m sure everything will work out fine.. thank you for your video. Appreciate you.
Thanks for the tip about pinching the tops off after 6-8 leaves! Last time I grew scotch bonnets, I didn't do this and the plants were enormous and didn't yield many fruits considering their size. I've got some more growing this year so I'll try pinching the tops!
Great video, I grew two Scotch Bonnets and a Habanero last year along with lots of others. My best videos of them were around July-Sept. One of the Scotches had bigger leaves than the other but the other produced much more fruit, still not as much fruits as your plants, awesome stuff :)
I found this video soo helpful for me. I'm brand new to this and I really want to learn I just put my seeds in a container in the paper towel. Wish me luck. I am here in Nova Scotia Canada so it's a bit colder here so fingers crossed
Hi. Thanks for stopping by. Scotch bonnet peppers are not difficult to grow. They need lots of sunshine and need to be grown in a greenhouse. They need to be fed every 7-10 days. I grow them in UK and I think the temperature is slightly warmer than Canada. I wish you have a great success with your Scotch bonnet!
@Erin Joy Liquid tomato fertilizer would be fine. Or you can add seaweed extract. You can mix them both together and feed your Scotch bonnet plants. Last year I used them both.
@Joshua Abron I started to feed 1 month old seedlings with very weak liquid tomato fertilizer with seaweed extract and again when they produced flowers.
Wearing gloves is NOT a suggestion but rather a MUST. While harvesting, gloves arn`t necessary, but when chopping them - definitely Yes. By the way, after chopping about 30 of them - while wearing gloves - my fingers were numb for half a day. The lesson here was: even with gloves, the capsicum is strong enough to penetrate. So, don`t be scared, just cautious - then you can enjoy the ultra-hotness of the delicious Habaneros.
@@Ji-pa-ta-garden Your results are outstanding! Could you tell me what ratio you mixed the two feeds with water? And did you feed only when flowers appeared? Thanks
I measured both liquids by using their lids then mixed with 5-6 litres of water. I started to feed them with a very weak one ( a quarter strength) when they have 4-6 true leaves. When they started giving flowers I fed them normal strength.
I hope you solved my scotch bonnet growing problems with what I call your "Scotch Bonnet Starter Kit" seeding. I also never grew as many peppers as your plants produce. I have to have scotch bonnet peppers to make hot sauce. Thank you.
Thank you. Here we have the monsoons and the climate is very hot. Although the plant grew tall but few peppers. Peppers are small too and remain green for long time. I will try pinching them.
If you cut the top of chilli plants, your plants will be shorter. On top of this, they will give more sideshoots, more flowers and more fruits. I experienced the same thing that my Carolina reapers stayed green for long time and the fruits grew slowly plus it was near the end of the growing season. I cut most tips of chillies and this helped my chillies grew bigger and turned red faster.
Oh my goodness the best video on here. What type of soil is that and what are the white things on top of the soil? I live in Maryland it's cold here what time should I start to plant these seeds in pots?
Hi. Thanks! By nature, they are perennial. They will keep producing if the temperature is right. In UK we grow them as annual. They last only one season. After I harvest chillies in early October, I compost all the plants. Some people may keep them indoors and grow them again next year.
@@Ji-pa-ta-garden thank you, this is very helpful. I germinated some scotch bonnet seeds in April and they're growing so slowly that I was a bit concerned
i noticed yours are pruned back quite a bit in the lower part of the plant. I was wondering if I should do the same. It's August now and I have plenty of fruit on my carolina reapers. first time growing. wasn't sure if it was okay to prune the large leaves on the lower part of the plant as there is not fruit there....please let me know, would really aprreciate any tips...greettings for Toronto Cananda
Last year it was my first time growing Scotch bonnet or habanero pepper chillies. After watching a TH-cam channel about hard pruning sweet peppers, I used that method with my chillies. Fortunately things went well with lots of chillies. I will try the same method again this year. I started taking few leaves including yellow leaves from the bottom. I think it's good for air circulation. It's also easy to do feeding, watering and weeding. When there are more big fruits I will remove more leaves. This could be around at the end of August. This would help chillies ripen quickly. If you are nervous or not sure about pruning, I would do light pruning. Just in the safe side Just take few leaves from the bottom. When your fruits are about to mature or change colour you may remove more bottom leaves. Hope this helps. Take care!
Hi. I normally sow seeds indoors in December or January. I plant them out in a greenhouse in May. Harvest in August, September and October. I grow them in UK, so they take very long time to grow and harvest.,
@@Ji-pa-ta-garden I live/work in Arizona - U.S., at Grand Canyon National Park. It is "high-desert" here - much sunshine and heat, very low humidity. I have started to grow my own Jamaican Scotch Bonnet Yellow peppers with this 1st plant. (To use in my homemade jerk-chicken recipe.) It seems to be doing well and ready for transplant. Thanks for your video on how to do so. Finally: Do these plants do better if you have multiple ones? (i.e. Do they need to cross-pollinate?) Thanks!
@Scott Zuke Hi. I think your Jamaican Scotch Bonnet will do fine as the weather is quite hot there. To increase humidity, simply water on the ground. I grow them in UK in the greenhouse. This helps a lot as summer here is not that hot. We have very short summer. Last year I kept only 2 main branches. It was like V shape. I think you can have multiple branches as your growing season is a lot longer. About pollination, I relied on the bees to pollinate the flowers. If there are not many bees around, you could give the plants a gentle tap. Good luck!
I think Australia is a lot warmer in summer than UK. Scotch bonnet/ habanero pepper chillies love hot weather with plenty of sunshine, so they will do very well over there.
As we live in cold climate, it took a bit longer. I started seeds indoors in the middle of December, planted them in the green house in May and they started to turn red at the end of August.
Hi. You may start sowing chilli seeds indoors in late winter. In UK I normally sow seeds in January Chillies take very long time to grow. I keep young plants on the windowsil and bring them to the greenhouse in April. Hope this helps.

Hi I just found your video, I am trying to plant these peppers from seeds in March and they are starting to grow now, how long does it usually take until they have fruits?
Hi. Around July, they will flower and set some fruits. You can feed them with liquid tomato food and seaweed extract or any fertilizer of your choice. This wil help them to produce more flowers and chillies.
I grow them in the greenhouse from May to October. After that it's too cold for Scotch bonnet to grow. They will not survive autumn and winter. You can overwinter them indoors.
Hi. Good seeds would take 10 - 14 days to germinate. About tomato fertilizer and seaweed extract, I use 1 capful of tomato fertilizer (20 ml) and 1 cupful of seaweed extract(20 ml ) mix with 4.5 litres of water. I feed them every 7 to 10 days.
Hi. How long from the point where they are germinated did it take to get the 2nd set of true leaves. It’s been 2 weeks since I finished germinating and have been giving mine full sun everyday at a window sill and stems are still white. no sign of seeing the existing 2 leaves grow larger or a 2nd set of leaves. I was debating fertilizing them with diluted fish emulsion. Tia
Hi. 4 week after germination you should see first 2 leaves. Scotch bonnet peppers including other chillies take very long time to grow especially first 2 leaves. Hopefully you will see them soon.
Normally after seeds start to germinate, we can remove the plastic bag. If we cover our seedlings too long, they might rot. In the video when I saw first two leaves, I immediately removed the bag.
Hi. Thanks. I put the pot near radiator. They need somewhere warm to grow. Once they grow above soil, I remove the bag and put the pot on the windowsill.
My plants look pathetic by comparison. I planted them outside (I live in Yorkshire) in mid-may when they were 4 to 5 inches high and now they are starting to fruit. But only a 3 or 4 fruits and they are tiny, about 1cm in diameter. The plants are now about 10 inches tall. They are Habanero's and Carolina Reapers. I had the same issue last year. I fertilise them and water regularly. Do you think the vast difference is due to the greenhouse? I saw you pinched yours out which I did not do.
Hi. In UK chillies will do best in the greenhouse plus you will have longer growing season. I have tried them both; inside and outside the greenhouse and chilli plants in the greenhouse do much better than outside ones. To help chilli plants produce more side shoots and fruits, I pinch the top of the plants. I normally do when they have 4-5 pairs of leaves. This year I grow Carolina reaper and Apache F1.
The Scotch Bonnet come in totally different sizes. And even though they can get big, that is relative when compared to others. So, don`t worry - mini Bonnets are not a result of your doing. My personal experience: once the little ones are ripe enough, harvest them. The next ones after that will grow bigger. And just when you think it`s over (weather getting colder, etc....mid September now), they are always good for a nice surprise: suddenly they start fruiting like there`s no tomorrow. In addition, since they are gorgeous looking plants even before fruiting, I can only advice to start germinating new plants early. And when I say early, I mean Sept/Okt....yes, right about now. This way, you have great plants and natural air filters in the house.
Where is the best place to keep the seeds? I have them in damp paper in container on top of fridge for about 5 days now.. but no changes as yet. Is there a better place that I should be keeping the container?
As I grow them in UK, it takes many months from sowing to harvesting, approximately 9-10 months. I started seeds indoors in January and they turned red in September or October.
Ost native asaims have poor english composition.. outside of a few Grammer mistakes, you did better than half of native US speakers. I'm quite impressed not only with the English, but a damn fine video and taking the time to document an entire growth season. Big thank you and respect.
can you explain about temperature for germinating? i tried second times for scotch bunnet but they look like same always. Here its about 20 c. need i hotter temperature then this?
Hi. If you keep the pot in a plastic bag, it will help to speed up seed germination. Then you can put it near radiator if you have one or put it on a window sill. I personally think 20 c is quite good. In UK we started seeds indoors in winter. I use extra heat from radiator to help my seeds to germinate.
I decided a few days ago that I’m going to try my hand at growing them myself. After watching this video I feel like I can really pull it off. I do have a question. Sorry if you’ve answered this already. How long should the seeds stay in the kitchen towel and container? And once you Harvest them do they continue to grow back or will they need to be replanted? Thanks In advance😊
You can do it! If you can give them plenty of sunshine and warmth, they will give you plenty of fruits. You can use fresh or dry seeds to sow. If you germinate them in paper towels, it will take around 7-14 days. Please keep checking. After we harvest chillies, we start them again next year. Some people overwinter them indoors.
@@Ji-pa-ta-garden looks like I’m going to have to start them indoors. The cold weather here doesn’t know what it want to do. One day it’s 75 degrees the next it’s 20.
Love this video so much I had to subscribe. Please recommend the best compost with perlite as I am learning to grow plants and have no clue. I am in the U.S.
@Joee95 You may have to start new seeds. You can try fresh seeds from shop-bought Scotch bonnet peppers. Just sow them in multipurpose compost. They will germinate easily. I have tried and it worked.
Hi. It depends on how many chillies you want to grow. If you want to grow 10-15 plants, I would sow 20 seeds. Just in case some of them don't germinate.
I prune my chilli plants twice. The first pruning helps the plants to produce more side shoots. The second pruning happens around August. I prune the tips in order to help the plants to produce bigger chillies and turn red.
They do better when you grow them in the right pot size. If you plant a small plant in a very big pot, it may rot. This is because it takes longer for water to go through the holes at the bottom.
Ok!! love this video, I live in London and always wanted to grow scotch bonnet as we use it for cooking 2-3 times a week. We buy them in Brixton buy I love plants so I am going to try this! I have read you grow them in the UK. I have a small greenhouse. Do they die once they produce peppers? or they carry on all year round? Can I use the seeds from one scotch bonnet or I need to buy them dry? This a perfect video for this. Thank you very much
Hi. I grow them in 6 x4 metre greenhouse (a small size) in London. Scotch bonnet peppers love sunshine. They will do best if you place them at the sunniest place in the greenhouse. You can overwinter them indoors. I tried last year, but they failed to survive. I didn't have enough space indoors and didn't provide enought light and warmth to them. This year I started them from my own saved seeds indoors on the window sill. You can use both fresh and dried seeds from ripe Scotch bonnets. Shop bought ones will be fine, too. Scotch bonnet plants in the video were from ASDA. I bought them for cooking and saved seeds to grow new plants. I don't think they are F1 or hybrid. They grew very well with heavy crops. Normally they will be in the greenhouse from May to October. During cold and cloudy months in autumn and winter, they won't survive in the cold greenhouse. You may try to keep them indoors. Hope this helps.
Hi. I think it's about the temperature. Too hot or too cold could reduce the chance of your chillies to set fruit. If you live in cold climate, you can try to grow them in a greenhouse or pollytunnel. They do quite well.
Yes, you are right. It takes very long time to grow chillies in cold climate and on top of it we have very short summer. However, it's worth to grow them and it's quite fun.
Hi. Once they have germinated, you can remove plastic bag. Its ok if you forget it for few days. You do not need to water them while you cover the pot with the plastic bag as it helps to retain moister. You will water new seedlings again when the soil or compost is dry.
Hi. I used a supermarket concentrated tomoto food, NPK fertilizer solution = 4:2:6. I used 20 ml. per 4.5litres of water. Hope this information useful.
Quick question. I just started to grow scotch bonnet and sweat pepper. But the scot bonnet is taking forever to grow. How long it usually takes and can I grow more than one in the same pot?
Hi. You are right Scotch bonnet takes very long time to grow especially if you live in cold climate. It takes almost a year from sowing to harvest. As we grow many types of vegetables, we seem to forget about time. I normally start chillies in December or January and harvest them in October. To help them to turn red quickly, I cut most of the tips off. You do when you can see you have many chillies develop. This helps chillies to grow faster and you can harvest red chillies before frost. I have tried to grow 2 chillies in one pot and I think one chilli per pot performs the best. If you put 2 plants in one pot, one is ok and the other one is not doing well especially if you plant them in a small pot.
Hi. No, I didn't. I didn't put seeds either in the fridge or in tea before sowing. However, I sometimes soak seeds in water mixed with aspirin before sowing. Many people believe that aspirin helps to ward off diseases, boost heavy crops of chillies and the plants can tolerate the cold weather better.
Hi. Yes, you are. It depends on the weather. You can grow them outside in warmer climate. I grow them in UK and the weather here in summer isn't that warm, ups and downs with short summer. So, they do best in the greenhouse here.
Hi i started growing my seed today and i think i made mistake cos the plastic bucket i used wasnt perforated. Pls what do i do?. Secondly how long does it have to take before i add fertiliser. Thanks
Hi. You can use a drill to make holes on the side ( close to the bottom) of the bucket. You may need someone to help you to hold a bucket while drilling. Or try to remove seeds out from the bucket, empty the soil and drill holes. You can start feeding chillies when they give flowers.
Bigger the pot, the bigger the plant. I grew one a couple of years ago and it was 5' tall..!! An amazing thing.They are a great producer too.
You are right. Glad you had a great crop 👍

Hi. Around July, they will flower and set some fruits. You can feed them with liquid tomato food and seaweed extract or any fertilizer of your choice. This wil help them to produce more flowers and chillies.
Also I forgot to ask, is it a problem those months in UK without sunshine? Thanks
I grow them in the greenhouse from May to October. After that it's too cold for Scotch bonnet to grow. They will not survive autumn and winter. You can overwinter them indoors.
Can you advise how long it took the seeds to germinate in the container and how much tomato fertilizer and extract to feed and how often?
Hi. Good seeds would take 10 - 14 days to germinate. About tomato fertilizer and seaweed extract, I use 1 capful of tomato fertilizer (20 ml) and 1 cupful of seaweed extract(20 ml ) mix with 4.5 litres of water. I feed them every 7 to 10 days.

Hi. How long from the point where they are germinated did it take to get the 2nd set of true leaves. It’s been 2 weeks since I finished germinating and have been giving mine full sun everyday at a window sill and stems are still white. no sign of seeing the existing 2 leaves grow larger or a 2nd set of leaves. I was debating fertilizing them with diluted fish emulsion. Tia
Hi. 4 week after germination you should see first 2 leaves. Scotch bonnet peppers including other chillies take very long time to grow especially first 2 leaves. Hopefully you will see them soon.
How about those which are yellow how do they become yellow
Great video. I learned a lot. What size pot are you using to transfer plants in?
Hi. Thank you. 10 to 12 inches
how long from germinating until you got mature fruit like that?
Around 9 months
Thanks for the video. After they germinate in the pot.. do you still keep them covered in a plastic bag until the 2 true leaves grow ?
Normally after seeds start to germinate, we can remove the plastic bag. If we cover our seedlings too long, they might rot. In the video when I saw first two leaves, I immediately removed the bag.
How long should I leave the seeds covered
Great video! Once you put the sprouts into a pot and cover it with a bag, do you sit it in the windowsill or in a dark warm place for 2 days?
Hi. Thanks. I put the pot near radiator. They need somewhere warm to grow. Once they grow above soil, I remove the bag and put the pot on the windowsill.
Very useful demonstration. How many days do the seeds usually take for germination?
7-10 days
@@Ji-pa-ta-garden thanks
You're welcome
My plants look pathetic by comparison. I planted them outside (I live in Yorkshire) in mid-may when they were 4 to 5 inches high and now they are starting to fruit. But only a 3 or 4 fruits and they are tiny, about 1cm in diameter. The plants are now about 10 inches tall. They are Habanero's and Carolina Reapers. I had the same issue last year. I fertilise them and water regularly. Do you think the vast difference is due to the greenhouse? I saw you pinched yours out which I did not do.
Hi. In UK chillies will do best in the greenhouse plus you will have longer growing season. I have tried them both; inside and outside the greenhouse and chilli plants in the greenhouse do much better than outside ones. To help chilli plants produce more side shoots and fruits, I pinch the top of the plants. I normally do when they have 4-5 pairs of leaves. This year I grow Carolina reaper and Apache F1.
@@Ji-pa-ta-garden Thank you for your response and advice. I guess I'm buying a greenhouse then! I will definitely pinch off my next lot of plants.
You are welcome. If you love to grow chillies, greenhouse will give lots of benefits.
The Scotch Bonnet come in totally different sizes. And even though they can get big, that is relative when compared to others. So, don`t worry - mini Bonnets are not a result of your doing. My personal experience: once the little ones are ripe enough, harvest them. The next ones after that will grow bigger. And just when you think it`s over (weather getting colder, etc....mid September now), they are always good for a nice surprise: suddenly they start fruiting like there`s no tomorrow. In addition, since they are gorgeous looking plants even before fruiting, I can only advice to start germinating new plants early. And when I say early, I mean Sept/Okt....yes, right about now. This way, you have great plants and natural air filters in the house.
Thank you so much!
It took my habanero seed 22 days to germinate. How did you get it to pop in 2 days?
I see blossoms at 6:04. What size pots are they in?
Hi. You can use 8-10 inch wide and 10-12 inch deep pots. These sizes would be fine.
I used 5 a 5 gallon and it produced very well
Where is the best place to keep the seeds? I have them in damp paper in container on top of fridge for about 5 days now.. but no changes as yet. Is there a better place that I should be keeping the container?
It will take around 7-10 days to germinate. The best place to keep your seeds is in the airing cupboard.
@@Ji-pa-ta-garden Sorry..what is the airing cupboard?
@Lesia G. It's the place that we keep hot water tank. If you don't have an airing cupboard, you can keep your seeds somewhere warm.
@@Ji-pa-ta-garden ok thank you
You may have answered this before, but how long did it take for the germination in the paper towel?
Around 7 to 10 days.
Thank you for this very insightful video. Please I'd like to ask how long did this process take ? Thanks
As I grow them in UK, it takes many months from sowing to harvesting, approximately 9-10 months. I started seeds indoors in January and they turned red in September or October.
Ost native asaims have poor english composition.. outside of a few Grammer mistakes, you did better than half of native US speakers. I'm quite impressed not only with the English, but a damn fine video and taking the time to document an entire growth season. Big thank you and respect.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I really appreciate it!
Beautiful ghost peppers,we call it HIBEN in our tribal language..
can you explain about temperature for germinating? i tried second times for scotch bunnet but they look like same always. Here its about 20 c. need i hotter temperature then this?
Hi. If you keep the pot in a plastic bag, it will help to speed up seed germination. Then you can put it near radiator if you have one or put it on a window sill. I personally think 20 c is quite good. In UK we started seeds indoors in winter. I use extra heat from radiator to help my seeds to germinate.
@@Ji-pa-ta-garden would putting it on a boiler be a good Idea?
I decided a few days ago that I’m going to try my hand at growing them myself. After watching this video I feel like I can really pull it off. I do have a question. Sorry if you’ve answered this already. How long should the seeds stay in the kitchen towel and container? And once you Harvest them do they continue to grow back or will they need to be replanted? Thanks In advance😊
You can do it! If you can give them plenty of sunshine and warmth, they will give you plenty of fruits. You can use fresh or dry seeds to sow. If you germinate them in paper towels, it will take around 7-14 days. Please keep checking. After we harvest chillies, we start them again next year. Some people overwinter them indoors.
@@Ji-pa-ta-garden looks like I’m going to have to start them indoors. The cold weather here doesn’t know what it want to do. One day it’s 75 degrees the next it’s 20.
From being germinated to having true leaves, how long does that take ?
Around a month
Love this video so much I had to subscribe. Please recommend the best compost with perlite as I am learning to grow plants and have no clue. I am in the U.S.
Hi. Thank you. For seed sowing, I use multi-purpose compost with 50% peat moss mixed with perlite.
Gonna try this winter peppers getting expensive
It's fun to grow them and you can get lots of chillies. You are right it's quite expensive to buy. Good luck!

How many days in a wet paper towel does it takes to germinate.
Generally it takes 10 days to germinate in moist paper towel.
@@Ji-pa-ta-garden wow that’s a long time. Thanks
I have loads or chilli peppers already growing and just bought a bag of these puppys so ip plant some of these seeds Also
Thanks for the video! Is there any kind of regimen that should be followed when exposing them to direct sunlight?
They seem fine in direct sunshine. I don't have any special care. Just keep an eye on the soil in summer as it may be dry quicker than normal.
Do I have to keep watering them every day while in paper towel?
Hi. No, you don't. You can spray it with water if it's dry. Keep it just moist. Normally they should germinate in 7-10 days.
@@Ji-pa-ta-garden they didn’t come out at 10 days :/
@Joee95 I'm sorry to hear that. Normally fresh or good Scotch bonnet pepper seeds would germinate in 10 to 14 days.
@@Ji-pa-ta-garden what now :(
@Joee95 You may have to start new seeds. You can try fresh seeds from shop-bought Scotch bonnet peppers. Just sow them in multipurpose compost. They will germinate easily. I have tried and it worked.
What size containers did you use and how many plants per container
I use at least 10 x10 inch pot. Generally I use 12 X 12 inch pot. I grow 1 chilli plant per 1 pot.
Very beautiful ❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩
How many seeds should I start out with the first pot. I’m buying a pack of 50?
Hi. It depends on how many chillies you want to grow. If you want to grow 10-15 plants, I would sow 20 seeds. Just in case some of them don't germinate.
Is it normal to produce some flowers before the peppers?
Yes, it is.
They look very healthy and happy plants.
What country is this please ?
South of England, UK. Thank you.
Is one time prune enough? Or do you prune multiple times throughout the growth of the plant?
I prune my chilli plants twice. The first pruning helps the plants to produce more side shoots. The second pruning happens around August. I prune the tips in order to help the plants to produce bigger chillies and turn red.
Why do people plant in small bowls first before taking out and putting in the bigger bowls, can I plant in bigger bowls from the start?
They do better when you grow them in the right pot size. If you plant a small plant in a very big pot, it may rot. This is because it takes longer for water to go through the holes at the bottom.
What season best for growing.
Does in grow in hot summer all season?
They grow best in summer.
how big are the final pots that you used
10 - 12 inches
Ok!! love this video, I live in London and always wanted to grow scotch bonnet as we use it for cooking 2-3 times a week. We buy them in Brixton buy I love plants so I am going to try this! I have read you grow them in the UK. I have a small greenhouse. Do they die once they produce peppers? or they carry on all year round? Can I use the seeds from one scotch bonnet or I need to buy them dry? This a perfect video for this. Thank you very much
Hi. I grow them in 6 x4 metre greenhouse (a small size) in London. Scotch bonnet peppers love sunshine. They will do best if you place them at the sunniest place in the greenhouse. You can overwinter them indoors. I tried last year, but they failed to survive. I didn't have enough space indoors and didn't provide enought light and warmth to them. This year I started them from my own saved seeds indoors on the window sill. You can use both fresh and dried seeds from ripe Scotch bonnets. Shop bought ones will be fine, too. Scotch bonnet plants in the video were from ASDA. I bought them for cooking and saved seeds to grow new plants. I don't think they are F1 or hybrid. They grew very well with heavy crops. Normally they will be in the greenhouse from May to October. During cold and cloudy months in autumn and winter, they won't survive in the cold greenhouse. You may try to keep them indoors. Hope this helps.
@@Ji-pa-ta-garden thank you very much. That is exactly what I will do. At the moment the seeds are still germinating
😊
I have a plant outside in a pot but after flowering, no fruits growing. It’s been like this for several weeks now after flowering🤔 any ideas.
Hi. I think it's about the temperature. Too hot or too cold could reduce the chance of your chillies to set fruit. If you live in cold climate, you can try to grow them in a greenhouse or pollytunnel. They do quite well.
@@Ji-pa-ta-garden thanks for your reply.
I live in London.
Very nice work.
Thank you!
nice work but too much work bro! in my country we throw the seeds on the ground and a couple of days later they sprout! Love from Gabon
Yes, you are right. It takes very long time to grow chillies in cold climate and on top of it we have very short summer. However, it's worth to grow them and it's quite fun.
Hi do i keep them in the plastic cover till the leaves come up and do i need to water them in between
Hi. Once they have germinated, you can remove plastic bag. Its ok if you forget it for few days. You do not need to water them while you cover the pot with the plastic bag as it helps to retain moister. You will water new seedlings again when the soil or compost is dry.
they take a while for me to grow in a pot but they grew faster when summer came
Me, too. I grow them in UK. It takes almost a year from sowing and harvesting. They do well in summer. All chillies like sunshine and warm weather.
Which is the npk of the fertilizer and how many g in litre water? Thank you from Germany.
Hi. I used a supermarket concentrated tomoto food, NPK fertilizer solution = 4:2:6. I used 20 ml. per 4.5litres of water. Hope this information useful.
Yes its useful thank you
Quick question. I just started to grow scotch bonnet and sweat pepper. But the scot bonnet is taking forever to grow. How long it usually takes and can I grow more than one in the same pot?
Hi. You are right Scotch bonnet takes very long time to grow especially if you live in cold climate. It takes almost a year from sowing to harvest. As we grow many types of vegetables, we seem to forget about time. I normally start chillies in December or January and harvest them in October. To help them to turn red quickly, I cut most of the tips off. You do when you can see you have many chillies develop. This helps chillies to grow faster and you can harvest red chillies before frost.
I have tried to grow 2 chillies in one pot and I think one chilli per pot performs the best. If you put 2 plants in one pot, one is ok and the other one is not doing well especially if you plant them in a small pot.
Did you put the seeds in the fridge before setting them ??
Also did you soak them in Tea before setting them.??"
Hi. No, I didn't. I didn't put seeds either in the fridge or in tea before sowing. However, I sometimes soak seeds in water mixed with aspirin before sowing. Many people believe that aspirin helps to ward off diseases, boost heavy crops of chillies and the plants can tolerate the cold weather better.
@@Ji-pa-ta-garden
Hi 👋
I'm going to give them a go this year.....see how we go as I'm a real novice gardener 🤦♂️
@Mark Rossell Good luck! Chillies are not difficult to grow. If you can provide them with the right condition, they will give you with heavy crop.
silly question but are you able to grow these outside or are they for indoors?
Hi. Yes, you are. It depends on the weather. You can grow them outside in warmer climate. I grow them in UK and the weather here in summer isn't that warm, ups and downs with short summer. So, they do best in the greenhouse here.
They take about 100 days to mature . Quite a long time compared to cayenne etc but well worth the wait ❤
Yes, you are right. They take very long time to mature especially if we grow them in cold climate.

Hi i started growing my seed today and i think i made mistake cos the plastic bucket i used wasnt perforated. Pls what do i do?. Secondly how long does it have to take before i add fertiliser. Thanks
Hi. You can use a drill to make holes on the side ( close to the bottom) of the bucket. You may need someone to help you to hold a bucket while drilling. Or try to remove seeds out from the bucket, empty the soil and drill holes. You can start feeding chillies when they give flowers.
Looking good
Thank you
Very beautiful
Thank you!
Please what is that soil call
Hi, Should I keep the flowers or should I remove them to have fruits please 🥰
Hi. You can keep the flowers, so they will produce fruits.
9:25 - Wow! They get BIG.
Are scotch bonnets and habeneros the same thing?
No, they are not. However, they are cousins.
