People don't realize how easy growing food and herbs can be! Nice video, haven't took pepper cuttings before. My Bell Peppers produce decent in my Southern window in winter. It still gets 26 at night here in mid april.
Hey Khang, I love your channel. I started growing peppers last spring and I visit your channel daily for tips and inspiration. I've adopted a number of your methods with great success, now I've grown 6 different types. I just wanted to say thanks for the great videos and pepper community!
Hey, UK here ✌️. Thank you for explaining so well. Really enjoying watching your videos especially on Aloes & propagating pepper plants! 👌 Also, I just melted..loveee your accent! 😍🫠
I have about five different varieties of hot pepper plants growing out in my yard that have been very plentiful in fruit production, and I didn't want them to go to waste when the winter sets in, so this is very helpful!
Hi Khang, I've had good success bare-root transplanting pepper from outdoors to the indoor garden. I blast all the soil and pests from roots and leaves, spray with insecticide and pot up in fresh, sterilized potting mix. The plants don't show any sign of shock. In fact, I've found the plants have more vigor once transplanted. On the other hand, trying to root pepper cuttings has been slow going for me. I see the root buds and new leaf clusters and even a flower, which I pinched off, but only one plant has a 1/4" root so far. I think I'd need to put the plants on a heating mat (or run lights on the shelve below) to speed up the rooting. It's not even warm enough for growing peppers here indoors without bottom heating. Well, they'll stay alive, but grow too slow. I also bare-root transplanted Swiss Chard and they're fine also. Anyway, if fungus gnats are a problem bare-root transplanting might be the solution people need, so I thought I'd share my findings.
Hey khang another method for using the rooting hormone that would probably work better is dip your cutting into water after it is all trimmed down and then dip your cutting end into your rooting hormone and let the branch sit for a little bit before u put it into water so the hormones can penetrate the stem. Either way cool update and peppers are some hardy plants that show great will to live.
I know and soil propagation you dip it in the hormone and then flick it really hard to get off the excess powder before you stick it in the soil. So I'm thinking in water Maybe you leave it sitting dry for a while cuz it's probably going to wash away?
Lol, it looks so easy & straightforward and yet I can never seem to get roots on my cuttings ... Don't have any rooting hormone though, maybe I'll grab some willow leaves for this next try. :-) Thanks for the video Khang!
JT Bear I would think the plant would need nutrients to support the rooting for such a thick piece. If not it will focus on staying alive. seaweed and cal mag liquid
I had a similar problem when I tried rooting them in water. Had those small white bumps on the stem, showing that roots wanted to form, but they din't want to shoot outwards. Solved it by sticking cuttings in rockwhool cubes (coco choir also works) and they rooted like crazy. My theory is, that the plant needs to probe for that water and if water is all around it just won't bother sending roots out. Theory backfires when you see roots perfectly for in the video though. But still, it's a possible solution
If you have such frequent wind damage, I would stake the peppers like you would a tomato. I always do it, because where I live it takes just one ferocious thunderstorm to wreck a plant.
Hi...Cutting with no more than four leafes,i put in cup with very wet soil .Cup is in nyalon bag,to keep moist and its on warm place.No direct sunlight ,no hormon.Sprinkle leafes and soil with clean water once a day . Whole cutting is 8cm long,and at least 3cm in soil...never had problem with rooting.
I have a hard time doing this and im never successful im going to try this i think i was messing up by putting a humidity doom on them hopefully im successful this time thanks for the video
Doesn't it need at least one leaf to photosynthesize sugars for the roots to grow? That is the purpose of the cotyledons, the seed provides the sugars that allow it to germinate, but there wouldn't be any significant source of stored sugar with no roots to begin with in a cutting. I am not arguing, that is my perception, I could be wrong, or maybe certain plants are different than others.
Yes and this is why when people overwinter their pepper plants, they remove ALL leaves, and keep any growing leaves off of the plant until it is closer to the next Spring.
Yeah, i have tried that method for the last 3-5yrs i i dont have any luck with my super hot peppers, but my tomatoes work all the time tho! This year i left the pepper cutting in water with a water pump and out of all five not one of them rooted> they all have the rooting paste on them and at the end of the summer still not roots.
Roots are starting to show on the cutting of my overwintered cayenne after 3 weeks. i left quite alot of leaves since the leaves were so small but took away all the flowers. also i gave it nutrients each time i changed the water every other day. I wasnt sure if you could propagate an annuum but i guess you can, but i also wasnt sure if i can overwinter an annuum but here we are 😄 PS: the cutting i have is cut from a young shoot from this spring, i just thought the shoot was getting too long and was thinking of topping all the new shoots so i cut this one just above the 2 first leaves on the shoot. Also this cayenne is somehow special since it sometimes made 2 flowers on the same "spot"(english is not my first language btw) which is not something that annuums do.
I don't know if using tap water is always the way to go. Where I live, there is a lot of chlorine added to our water, and I have found that with some pepper varieties this actually damages them. To combat this, I will be building a charcoal water filtration system to give my plants the clean, fresh water they need to thrive.
Okay what about when I'm overwintering my peppers? Can I use the same message when I'm tripping back my pepper plants? That way I can save and make more pepper plants from my existing plant right? Or will this not work when overwintering?
I have a red ghost pepper plant and it grew 3 peppers but now it hasn't had any more buds or flowers since. I moved them inside but, still, nothing... The plant is doing fine, I just wanted to know what I could do and if I took a cutting to regrow, how would I do it?
Yeah, Om pretty sure the hormone instructions do not advise diluting it with water. In fact: "During propagation, rooting hormone should be applied immediately before you place your clipping in the soil. For powdered hormones, dip the base of the cutting into the hormone, then shake gently to remove any excess. Place the cutting into moist soil, loosely covering the base." Jan 28, 2019. You're wasting time and rooting hormone.
How much lighting does the cuttings need to grow do you place it in a shaded area away from direct sun? Can you cover this in a video? Thanks for sharing, we are learning a lot from you. Thanks
+Avanti Morocha I have only tried this method on herbs and peppers. I've never done Bougainvillea, so I don't know. It's definitely worth a shot if you have those available.
+Khang Starr hey great video! my .20 cent is start you growing in jan and forget about the cloning. I dont say it's bad or anything. I'm saying that it is better for me and might be for some others. I have done some cloning and overwinter and early starts and the early starts alway do better and the only think i can think why is that they might have had better or new mix soil and the other didn 't have enough nuts. All the overwinter plants had poor fruit production that year, smaller fruits or to my fault when into shock from going from indoor to outdoors
Have you tried just putting the stem in moist potting mix? It worked for me with Tomatoes this year. I know peppers don't root as easily as Tomatoes, so maybe that would be harder. Also, do you think blocking out the light would help the roots grow?
+Jeb Gardener Yes, I have done moist potting mix and it also worked, but this method works better for me. I have tried blocking out lights, it just make all the leaves fall off.
I've played around with propagating peppers... And they are very very slow to root. Faster just to plant a seed. Would only do this method if there is a special reason which would make sense.
Did you cover the bottles to keep light away from the roots? The largest pepper branch that developed roots the quickest had relatively large leaves. The rooting hormone stem was almost a bare twig at the beginning of the project. Have you seen that pattern before? I thought the smallest stems would be the fastest. You had nice plants after only 16 days. Your home must be very clean.
I have done this experiment a few more times after. I find that if you take cutting from an older branch, it roots much faster than the younger branches. The farther the branches are to the bottom of the parent tree, the better the success rates. I did not cover the container, it is as you seen in the video.
Great vid Khang. I love the experiments that you do and you also make it clear and easy to follow. I look forward to seeing your pepper crops for next season. Quick question, how often do you change the water in the cuttings containers and does it matter if algae grows in the water? I noticed it looked like some was growing in yours
+Nick Fury If you see algae, change the water and rinse the container. Algae will restrict root development. I believe they also suck all oxygen out of the water.
I love your videos but I have a concern. Every rooting compound I've purchased in the past has warning labels saying not to use on plants intended for human consumption. Is the Miracle Grow version food safe?
Enjoy your videos. I'm envious of your propagation successes. I'm great at starting from seeds but have had very little success at cuttings, so I have a few questions for you. At the 1:47 mark, you show two branches that you are propagating in a white cup. Have those two already rooted at that point? If so, did you root them in that cup, which I assume is filled with perlite? Did you clip all of the leaves before you started the soak? Because those are some healthy looking leaves. Also, under more general questions, do you keep the cuttings under growlights when you are waiting for the roots? Another viewer asked about blocking out light. You answered that it caused the leaves to fall off. Did you cover the whole plant or just the container? I have been made aware that using a clear container for the roots can stunt or even kill the roots. Thanks.
+marvsandman At 1:47 is the result of my success. What you see in this video is exactly how I propagate every time. I place them in clear containers under my indoor lights. After a few weeks they will sprout roots.
You are awesome and so simple. I have subscribed to your channel. Awesome. After you propagate the roots, can you just transfer it into potting soil or do you have to wait?
Unless it's a rare variety and you can't get more seeds, propagating pepper plants is not a good use of space and time. Now if you have room and the plant was damaged like this one then go for it. But propagating a branch will not grow into a full size plant as big as the parent. You will not get a measurable amount more between the propagated plants and parent than if you left the parent as-is. It's not like an herb such as basil that you can clone. You can't clone pepper plants. Again, if it was an accident and you have room, save it. I spent an entire season propagating branches and tops of various plants after watching this and ended up with the same number of peppers than the same sized plants that I didn't propagate. I just wound up spending more money on supplies and time to maintain multiple small plants instead of having one big one. Some plants produced less peppers in total because time was lost on starting the roots.
Great tutorials. I'm trying to propagate Charapita peppers from cuttings, - and unfortunately never work. On the other hand, I've saved seeds, and the seed do not germinate.... any suggestion? Thank you
Hey man..really appreciate this video. 🙌A storm broke one of my best bellpepper plants in half. I was wondering if using an ordinary cococoir jiffy pellet soaked in rooting hormone would work if I just stick my cutting in it. The jiffy pellet I'm using is plain cococoir with no manufacturer added rooting hormone/booster in it.
Do you know if it's better to cut under a node? I kerp trying to root cuttings and I only fail, but that won't stop me. My mom has an old tree that we don't know the name of so I'm determined to get a cutting
In tried cutting my habanero plant from cuttings. It rooted a little bit and tried to plant it on loam soil but it its leaves started to yellow. I hope you can give advise how to make it survive
Great video...Do you do this for your next years crop? I've taken seeds out of some hot peppers, I was wondering when do I start to get them started ie. (what month, for net years crop)? Will I be able to save the plants that I now have growing? By propagating my existing plants how do I keep them safe during the winter? I live in southern Calif.Thanks for your supper video's
+Fred Gold I usually start my seeds around January, I live in Texas. If your temperature does not drop below 50 degrees, you can simple cut them back and they may make it through winter. If you are propagating like I did in this video, you'll need to provide them artificial lights indoor.
Do you have a video where we can actually see the set up with the plants? The link just shows the tent and the lights. Are they all close to the floor or are some tall? In this video everything looks the same size.
Thanks for all of this information. What can you do if a plant breaks with almost ripe peppers. My orange bell pepper plants split just above the base with 5 nearly ripe peppers. The stem is almost half an inch in diameter. I don't want to loose all of the peppers. Any suggestions?
U forgot 2 spary them with water without roots it doesn't observe water so u spay the leafs and they will keep the plant most and alive cover it with a plastic container so the water stays in the air
I've watched many of your videos. just want to say thank you! you are pleasant and not boring.
+Darrell Hale Thank you Darrell! Thanks for your kind feedback.
+Khang Starr i also agree with darrell
Khang Starr hey Khang how can I send you some seeds from my own crosses?
Darrell Hale thanks
Khang Starr ok thanks
People don't realize how easy growing food and herbs can be! Nice video, haven't took pepper cuttings before. My Bell Peppers produce decent in my Southern window in winter. It still gets 26 at night here in mid april.
I love it that you post your results in the same video. Thanks for posting this!
Agreed! I love the before & after clips. Thank you Khang.
great way to speed up pepper plants growth
That is cool, I did it with basil cuttings and it worked I didn't know you can do it with peppers too, thank you for posting this!
Great video. You've really expanded my view of what can be done with peppers! I'm propagating quite a few plants right now. thanks! ~Sheryl
+JuicingGardener (Sheryl Mann) Thank you! Good luck with your propagation.
I needed this video. Something has been eating my plant so I need to try and save it. Thank you.
Hey Khang, I love your channel. I started growing peppers last spring and I visit your channel daily for tips and inspiration. I've adopted a number of your methods with great success, now I've grown 6 different types. I just wanted to say thanks for the great videos and pepper community!
+Sean Gilroy Thanks for this nice comment, Sean!
wow,I didn't know this I always put my broken plants in the food waste bin. thank you for sharing this video ☺
+Raya Chan You're welcome!

Thanks for the video Khang. I love the fact that the age of the cutting/plant is the same as the "motherplant".
+Allan “l4x3rmedel” Ballan It's really cool to be able to get a plant that produces so fast.
YOU ARE A PLANT SURGEON KHANG! AWESOME!
A fully grown chilli Pepper plant no matter how big it is , is not called a" Tree " it's still a plant but thumbs up for some good informataion !
Thanks for showing results in the same videos!

Trying this for the first time ever today! Got all my little reaper cuttings trimmed and in water... we'll see
GoodRedBlackRatio How did it go with your reaper cuttings?
Thank you for the video! Didn't know this could be done with pepper plants.
Love it. Gonna find some great peppers and clone them for next spring. Thanks Khang.
I Learnt a new tip, shouldn’t remove all the leaves. Thank you so much
you are awesome, I could watch your videos all day....oh wait...I already do...lol
Fantastic tip on propagating Peppers. Thank you for sharing. All the best, Patrick
+Patrick Meehan Thanks for stopping by Patrick!
thank you very much for sharing mlso tamsak friend
ITS HARD TO ROOT PEPPER CUTTINGS BUT IT WILL ROOT AFTER A FEW WEEKS!
I have learned a lot form watching your videos the last couple days. Very informative. Thanks for sharing.
I learned so much from your video sir and this will really contribute to my success,t. ty so much and more power.
Man those ARE trees🤭wow some sturdy ass pepper plants. Thx👌
started growing ghost peppers and all your videos have helped me along the way and made me try to make a frankenplant like yours
Lol, it looks so easy & straightforward and yet I can never seem to get roots on my cuttings ...
Don't have any rooting hormone though, maybe I'll grab some willow leaves for this next try. :-)
Thanks for the video Khang!

But still, it's a possible solution
I think the stems need to root in darkness. In other words, wrap the jars with tinfoil to block the light from the rooting sections.
MrCharlieCom I would of thought nighttime would be enough for that. But it's a good tip
JT Bear s
Your rosemary cuttings also look great!
If you have such frequent wind damage, I would stake the peppers like you would a tomato. I always do it, because where I live it takes just one ferocious thunderstorm to wreck a plant.
You should cut the leaf(s) in half. I'm told this will stop the leafs from growing and the plant will focus on growing roots.
yeah, my dad always cut the leaves in half. seems work fine
Long way or short way?
Hi...Cutting with no more than four leafes,i put in cup with very wet soil .Cup is in nyalon bag,to keep moist and its on warm place.No direct sunlight ,no hormon.Sprinkle leafes and soil with clean water once a day . Whole cutting is 8cm long,and at least 3cm in soil...never had problem with rooting.
I have a hard time doing this and im never successful im going to try this i think i was messing up by putting a humidity doom on them hopefully im successful this time thanks for the video
My first cutting rooted for just 5 days it was a morning glory it also flowered and is doing well
I just given this a try, thanks for teaching us sifu. Love the tips and content in your channel,keep up the good work mate.
Thanks. You're a fast stirrer.
XD I'm actually wanting to clone some Scotch Bonnets! That's exactly why I looked at this vid.
thank u Mr.khang..for the video.it's so amazing and it will added to my knowledge.I will try to do it to my small garden.
plants don't photosynthesize until they are rooted. you can cut all the leaves off and that actually increases your propagation rate significantly.
Doesn't it need at least one leaf to photosynthesize sugars for the roots to grow? That is the purpose of the cotyledons, the seed provides the sugars that allow it to germinate, but there wouldn't be any significant source of stored sugar with no roots to begin with in a cutting.
I am not arguing, that is my perception, I could be wrong, or maybe certain plants are different than others.
Dakota Lally Roots go out before cotelydons leave the seed husk.
Oliver Sykes Correct, and isn't it the carbohydrates stored in the seed that provide the energy for that? When taking cuttings there is no seed.
Thanks smart people. My propogation has been going well....with the exception of peppers. From the comments i should try soil
Yes and this is why when people overwinter their pepper plants, they remove ALL leaves, and keep any growing leaves off of the plant until it is closer to the next Spring.
Rooting, not fruiting. I like that!
Yeah, i have tried that method for the last 3-5yrs i i dont have any luck with my super hot peppers, but my tomatoes work all the time tho! This year i left the pepper cutting in water with a water pump and out of all five not one of them rooted> they all have the rooting paste on them and at the end of the summer still not roots.
Love your videos, I had learn so much ! I understand now what I had been doing wrong. Thanks you so much.
You are amazing thank you so much. I will try this today
Roots are starting to show on the cutting of my overwintered cayenne after 3 weeks. i left quite alot of leaves since the leaves were so small but took away all the flowers. also i gave it nutrients each time i changed the water every other day.

Did you know what time of the season and which month is better
How often should I water the cuttings in soil?

I'll give them a try :)
Great tutorial Khang! I wish I did that for my dying red savina....
+Rob Backyard Gardenerr That would've given you a headstart on your indoor grow. These clones take on the original age of the original plant.

You should cut your clones right below an internode, that's where new roots tend to form the quickest.
What a wonderful helpful, detailed video!!

You can change it every week. Sometimes I get lazy and I leave it longer.

Do u need to use a lamp or just sunrays?
Hi! I've never had successful cuttings before, but two of my pepper plant cuttings are starting to root. What do I do now? Thanks
I put a small stem into a potting mix and it has grown roots and even two buds. Should I take the buds off or will they fall off by themselves.
ur demonstration was awesome .it so nice .icame to know everything .thank u soooo much.
You are awesome and so simple. I have subscribed to your channel. Awesome. After you propagate the roots, can you just transfer it into potting soil or do you have to wait?
Wondering if new growth versus near-woody cuttings gives better results?
Did you coat the cuttings with plastics to keep the humidity? Or used an artificial light?
Unless it's a rare variety and you can't get more seeds, propagating pepper plants is not a good use of space and time. Now if you have room and the plant was damaged like this one then go for it.

I was wondering if using an ordinary cococoir jiffy pellet soaked in rooting hormone would work if I just stick my cutting in it. The jiffy pellet I'm using is plain cococoir with no manufacturer added rooting hormone/booster in it.
If you make a few small slices in the stem it will grow roots out of there faster instead of roits just at the very bottom.
And thanks great video!
do you change out the water? if so how often?
Do you know if it's better to cut under a node? I kerp trying to root cuttings and I only fail, but that won't stop me. My mom has an old tree that we don't know the name of so I'm determined to get a cutting
Will the cuttings fruit before the end of the growing season?
cool video. very helpful
In tried cutting my habanero plant from cuttings. It rooted a little bit and tried to plant it on loam soil but it its leaves started to yellow. I hope you can give advise how to make it survive
liked it, simple. thanks a lot. cheers
Can we also do this method on avocado and guava which is more thicker than pepper
you're a really cool dude I want to be like you and have tons of plants everywhere
Cut ABOVE the label for more space and stability.
Great video...Do you do this for your next years crop? I've taken seeds out of some hot peppers, I was wondering when do I start to get them started ie. (what month, for net years crop)? Will I be able to save the plants that I now have growing? By propagating my existing plants how do I keep them safe during the winter? I live in southern Calif.Thanks for your supper video's
+Fred Gold I usually start my seeds around January, I live in Texas. If your temperature does not drop below 50 degrees, you can simple cut them back and they may make it through winter. If you are propagating like I did in this video, you'll need to provide them artificial lights indoor.
Do you have a video where we can actually see the set up with the plants? The link just shows the tent and the lights. Are they all close to the floor or are some tall? In this video everything looks the same size.
Yes, here it is th-cam.com/video/5u5UoZIoaWY/w-d-xo.html
Can I use a branch that is slightly broken and still has peepers on it?
nice
Thanks for all of this information. What can you do if a plant breaks with almost ripe peppers. My orange bell pepper plants split just above the base with 5 nearly ripe peppers. The stem is almost half an inch in diameter. I don't want to loose all of the peppers. Any suggestions?
You can put the broken branch in water to extend its life. The pod will continue to ripe.
is newer growth or older growth or semi growth best?
Do you chamge out the water every day or no, i dont see plant getting air just wondering if plant would drown?
Will this work with pepper plants that are not as mature? about 2 months old,one of my pepper plants just snapped in half
I would wait if possible, of course if it’s wrecked, try it out, better than nothing?
I threw it away lol I have spares I planted in case, thanks for reply though, bless.
U forgot 2 spary them with water without roots it doesn't observe water so u spay the leafs and they will keep the plant most and alive cover it with a plastic container so the water stays in the air
Awesome! How often do you change the water?
