That is exactly like I do it for many years . I usaly keep 3 or 4 runners . And I take some peppers of in the start depending on the size of the plant . It's a clear video. Ireland ❤
thank you thank you thank you! all other pepper pruning videos are about topping them, not actually trimming the Ys. you guys have wonderful videos and i'm learning so much!
How do you prune your young pepper plants before they go out to the greenhouse? do you cut them above the first or second set of leaves to get them to split? thanks!
Right now I'm in awe but in the future I'll implement these instructions and will try to remember to mention you on my video so you can see there are folks who do more than just get entertained. Bless you for sharing. This old dog is learning.
great idea! i pruned my tomatoes and now they have lots of fruits. i was thinking to do this to my bell peppers as well thats why im here. Is it a good idea also to remove the bottom leaves just like the tomatoes? Thanks
Thank you for giving the demo on pruning to maintain the "V." Question: if the part that was cut off long enough, can be be propagated and planted? I just recently cut off long suckers from my tomato plants and having them sitting in a vase with water. curious if the same can be done with bellpeppers... second question... is this the same principle for pruning other pepper plants like banana pepper, jalapenos, hatch, etc...? thank you!!!
Good attempt to educate peope on pruning peppers. I am growing peppers in my greenhouse and have been advised by the consultant that we need to retain 3 stems. What is the yield that you get per plant with your method?
Just came back to this video as i was really struggling with how to prune my windowsill pepper plants (chillies, but it should work the same right). I pruned them a little bit, but they keep becoming unmanageable. So basically go for a big V formation without any branching off allowed, got it. What about using the cuttings to make lots of transplants and sell those at the market? That seems to be become more popular.
right now i don't have space to grow them vertically, not yet at prod. level with pro greenhouse/tunnel ours is a lot smaller, say 2.x meters max.. Isnt it good to top them and let them grow bushy in this scenario? I've never pruned peppers, just did the topping of small plants. Also was not aware about indeterminant/determinant varieties apply here as well. i thought it is relevant only for tomatoes. i've seen others prune eggplants, cucumbers and actually grapes the same way as you prune tomatoes by removing suckers, but i didnt consider doing the same to peppers. btw as usually thanks for all your videos there is nice portion of added value in each of them + i love to see your family work
Your tomato clips look like heavy duty compared to tomato clips on Amazon and other websites. Are they heavy duty or all clips are the same? I live in Missouri, USA and I enjoy your videos which is nice when I am an armature but learning a lot in the past few weeks thanks to you guys. Thanks for any reply.
wow very informative but i have a few questions if u dont mind. 1) where do you get indeterminate pepper seeds please post a link 2) if i dont trim the pepper bush will the peppers become small 3) which produces more peppers and is faster? determinate or indetermanate
Great information. This was my first year really growing several pepper plants in the greenhouse and I let them bush out. I believe that I have about 60 plants. I will be doing this next year for certain! Chuck
Kevin Trowers how are you gonna get sunburn in a greenhouse with shade cloth on it? I’m a grower also and that’s a concern with pruning mine that are field grown but sunburn is not a concern inside the greenhouse
Should you use this method for sweet bell peppers in the garden too? I heard sometimes pruning bells peppers doesn’t do much but to do it for poblano and smaller varieties. Also if you haven’t pruned and your 50 days in is it too late to prune?
Will the same technique work to increase yeild for outdoor grown peppers in either containers or planted directly in the ground? Would be nice to see any differences in pruning methods for all veggies grown indoors and outdoors.
Yes! Please another video!.... I am wondering if you pruned off the large foliage first just so we can see what you are cutting more better..... You gals rock!
Like the idea but is this practicable in a short season climate where we have to wait until late Auust, early September, for our first ripe fruit. Will we still get more peppers than allowing bushy plants to form?
They're doing a really hard cut back on those because they have the ability to let it grow so tall. Backyard Peppers will never get to 20 feet at least not where I live
Hi, so should that be done with any type of bell peppers three. It looks frightening to do, especially for someone who has never done it before. Thanks
wondering if this can be done outside like tomatoes on strings or would this cause issues? I am wanting to grow as much as I can on a lot sized garden in square foot planting and wondering if this would do good outside or is this not advisable as I want to stake it to rebar and electrical conduit with strings off this type of frame.
Time to prune my peppers then. It's nearly Christmas now, but I think it's a good time to do it. They didn't produce anything this year, so I hope the crop will be good next year..... BTW, how long do you keep your pepper plants before you replace them?
Just curious if you also prune the small growth in the bottom of the peppers? I can see some small growth in base of the peppers and same as mine. Do you cut those too? thanks.
Some of the branches you cut off had flowers on them. Is that okay? I have Serrano pepper plant- same technique applies there? Also, my plants are not in green house, does that make any difference?
I was just wondering what you do with all the cuttings? Do you clone your peppers or are they just going into a compost pile? This past year I have learned a ton about cloning and propagating but I had no idea that a pepper can grow 20 feet tall
I love your channel and the information you share. I just started growing peppers but I didn't think about pruning them. I don't understand why the severe pruning and the difference when you just allow them to grow as they want. Do you also prune the bush type.
Maricela Hinojosa pruning the indeterminate peppers, allows them to be trelised which gives you the best production. remember that these were pruned late so it was very drastic. if we didn't prune them they would bush out and not trellis properly. as for our bush type peppers (determinate), they aren't meant to be trellised. we don't prune them, and they produce very well. I am still trying to find a video or information on that tho. ☺
I cut off all the lower branches off my bell pepper plants will they be okabout first 6/8 inches an the tops are bushy with tons of buds I don't know where to start to thin them out on top
Few questions (1) What is the spacing between each row and spacing between each plant (2) in the Hydroponic section do you have the water / fertilizer feed working always (24 / 7 hrs basis). Thanks in advance for your advice.
Hi, how can this pruning be better for production when clearly buds are removed along with the stems that cut off. Mine are staring to grow flowers now and if I prune as per this video to have two branches I would be down about 50% fruit production. They are still small plants at the moment but one of them already has a minimum of 12 pepper buds growing. Interested to hear your thoughts. thanks
Do I cut the budding fruit right off top of each side of the V? Or just let it grow? Also, I have a jalapeño plant and it seems to be producing and growing well. Do I trim anything or let it run?
Nice video. Ma'am I'm from Philippines.. Is this kind of pruning can be applied in any kind of brand of seed? My seed is a Philippine brand (eastwest f1 california bell pepper) sorry for my English..
Great video. How come in one of your videos about sweet pepper pruning, you remove the center bud on the 3rd node, however in this video you don’t remove the bud on the 3rd node anymore? Which one would be better?
would you recommend this method for outdoor vegetable garden boxes? I live in the north and our growing season is short June to September and hate to prune further as they are just growing good again after cutting the tops off.
+tucker mcdawg no, not if you have regular bush peppers. I would just leave them be. You are in the same climate as we are and I know how short the season is. This weather has been absolutely crazy. It's a good thing we have greenhouses, because summer hasn't even started yet! 😢
Yesterday i join in a green house This is lil big project they grow more than 12 thousands plants. I am learning now i am fresh. We have 3 colours Red, yellow, orange. Can you please upload video on based of it's fertilizers recipe. #pakistan
how do you know which type of determinate and indeterminate bell pepper plants I have? I bought my starters at Lowes. They arent really growing tall so I transplanted them into larger containers cause I think I had them in too small of a container. I just went outside to water them & they barely have the 1st "V" you were talking about. I would hate to cut them all back & realize they arent the ones that will be growing tall likes your guys.
Thank you for explaining the description as a V. That really helped a lot. By the way, do you have any ideas on how to get rid of Tortoise beetles without harmful pesticides? They are on my potato leaves & tomatoes. I've lived in the same house for 22 yrs. & have never seen these alien beings in my gardens. Thank you!
would this work for chili pepers, like Jalapeno or Serrano? I have problem with them bushing too much and they have problem standing straight even tied up with string....my 60 plants greenhouse is a jungle now and they are only 2 months old since putting in the soil :) I might sacrifice few plants with this method after the first harvest, just to see what will happened....
Thank you! I'm growing just 2 bell pepper plants and this helped some, but my plants don't have a "V", just a straight stalk coming out of the ground (I planted a seed pod from a pepper). So I have another biggish stalk coming out of the ground also. I wonder if "V'd" out under ground first. I pulled some of the others and have transplanted them. You said something about the juxtaposition of flowers to buds. I'm sorry, I'm very uneducated about growing and pruning stuff. The peppers come from the flowers? So the buds are where new shoots are going to come from and so should be removed?
@@BarryWatson57 mines the same , i have no idea about pepper plants , thought they would be like tomatoes and just grow with no involvement from me , my flowers are small and keep fallng off so no peppers sadly
@@BarryWatson57 i hadthree new flowers , two fell off just by touching them with a q tip , had it outside for a while and a bee was at one flower which looks ok so heres hoping , i must admit its not as easy as i thought to grow peppers
Thank you for this video I'm going to try to do this for this year. I never knew you could get Indeterminate Pepper plants. How do you know the difference in the two??? I have never seen it on the tags if I buy them, or never on the seed packs. Can I ask where you buy your seeds at?? Thank you.
I am trying to save a pepper that is not growing anymore. I probably over-watered it at some stage when I moved it from the polytunnel into a pot to keep in the house last fall. It is suffering from stunted growth, all the leaves are tiny and nothing seems to be happening. Would pruning it dramatically restore its strength? Thank you!
+Magda Diana I would say don't prune it at all yet. Just feed it well and give it new soil and proper sunlight and see how it does. Let me know in a week or so if you notice a difference. I think heavy pruning would set it back even more at this time.
What is your average temperature you grow peppers at? Do you only Green green bell peppers? Any whacking off leave keeps the plant growing taller I think.. how do I get my orange yellow and red bell peppers before the frost gets them when they're still green? There not worth that much to run a heater in a greenhouse or swamp cooler
+Barney Rubble Hi Barney, we keep our greenhouses at 60 degrees through the night and 70 degrees through the day. It's harder to cool than to heat especially when the sun is out. All peppers will turn color. Where are you located?
Spring Hill Farms well I'm not in your universe. I have to harvest all my red. yellow and orange peppers. When they're huge and green and put them inside to get them to turn. Where its dark otherwise they just sit there because they're so happy they don't want to grow up or change into a colorful adult .
Joseph Halliday I'm not exactly sure, but I think it would be possible. I'm going to look into that and do a question and answer video next week with all inquiries in regards to different techniques. ☺
Another awesome video. Last year was the first time topping peppers as young plants and I did have stronger plant that got to about 3 to 3 and a half feet tall with more fruit.. I live in Maine, so as you can imagine we have a short growing season. also, I don't have a greenhouse. Do you think this would work outside in my Back to Eden garden?
+Jim's In Town Gardening Thanks Jim, this was a learning experience for Haili and I as well. I don't know why it wouldn't work outside. Maybe just try a plant or two (as long as they are trellised ) and see how they do. I can't wait to watch more of your videos!
That is very interesting. I would not think that you would take off so many branches. After you harvest the pepper from below will they set more flowers and peppers of is that it? Thanks for sharing :)
I wish I would have found y’all’s video before tried to “top” my cayenne.. but hey, lesson learned.. thank y’all for sharing.. 😁😁😁 oh and beautiful green house 4 😁😁

Ahhhh makes sense... My peppers have no flowers and look like bushes... This is probably why...
Can you grow roots back on what you cut off?
Thanks for the tips, EH HALEY?!🤣
I prune my tomatoes in a similar fashion. but I wrap the string around the "stalk". Do you see a problem do this with the peppers? thanks
For the pepper to be strong, we twist the plant around the string like the tomatoes & the cucumbers.
Hey!!it's was very informative n awesome video on pruning...Plz update on cooling the greenhouse in summer
This was helpful. How do I know determinat and indeterminant? When I buy seed?
would this work for chili pepers, like Jalapeno or Serrano?

+Barney Rubble
Thank you so much! Yes we had tomatoes growing in the side beds of that greenhouse as well. Thank you for your kind words. ☺
When they are small do you cut the top off to make them divide into two?
Does this work for regular gardening too or just greenhouse?
when we should start pruning peppers for the first time? and how often we should do it through its growing period?
6-8 true leaves and most off the time only once a season but you can do it twice.
i heard you said that the peppers are in-determinant how can you tell by the variety you buy to grow?
Great video, could this be done outside if I trellis them or would it only work in a green house?
Love those clips. What are they just.cslled garden clips? Amazon?? Thank you.
Thank you for an excellent video. Does this system of pruning work for other types of sweet peppers?
Joseph Halliday I'm not exactly sure, but I think it would be possible. I'm going to look into that and do a question and answer video next week with all inquiries in regards to different techniques. ☺
did you use a particular sweet pepper(seeds). I have always wondered if greenhouse variety is different from open field ??
+Genxgt
Yes we used a greenhouse variety. Greenhouse varieties are a larger plant and give you fruit for a longer period of time.
like the clips, and thanks for the info.. always learning
Another awesome video. Last year was the first time topping peppers as young plants and I did have stronger plant that got to about 3 to 3 and a half feet tall with more fruit.. I live in Maine, so as you can imagine we have a short growing season. also, I don't have a greenhouse. Do you think this would work outside in my Back to Eden garden?

Thanks Jim, this was a learning experience for Haili and I as well. I don't know why it wouldn't work outside. Maybe just try a plant or two (as long as they are trellised ) and see how they do. I can't wait to watch more of your videos!
That is very interesting. I would not think that you would take off so many branches. After you harvest the pepper from below will they set more flowers and peppers of is that it? Thanks for sharing :)
I wish I would have found y’all’s video before tried to “top” my cayenne.. but hey, lesson learned.. thank y’all for sharing.. 😁😁😁 oh and beautiful green house 4 😁😁
