r/Peppers

These are from three different plants! We had a pretty intense heat wave (though I shaded them for most of it)— this just appeared right after.

Howdy everybody,

Was wondering what type of pepper I have ?

I planted these from a packet back in February, thought they were flowers and have no idea how I actually planted peppers.

Also, any advice of upkeep and how long til they're ripe? Thank you, live is South Texas so it's always hot and sunny!

Thank you!

Hello! This is my first time growing these peppers. I supposedly bought two Biquinho Purple plants. One has turned mostly green while the other has stayed purple. The one that has turned green, the peppers are green/purple. The purple plant peppers are a dark purple.

I guess my question is, how do I know when these are ripe? Google Gemini is telling me they will turn red or orange which is confusing because I thought I'd be harvesting purple peppers. I'm lost 😂

TIA

Will the plant come back? what would you guys do to save it?

Has anybody used this stuff? Maybe I used too much or over concentrated the solution.

Both pepper plants were doing well....when suddenly I found one completely wilted. Any ideas? They are both in sip containers (gro buckets) and soil is not dry.

I've grown these six jalapeño plants from seeds in my little container garden on the roof of my building in central London (UK)

They seem to be good and healthy to my first-timer eyes, and a few buds are starting to appear at the top

My question is, should I prune them a bit, to let the plants focus on flowers/peppers?? Like people do with tomato plants??

Or should I just be patient and let them do their thing???

Any advice or suggestions would be welcome 🙂

First it rained alot ,then it got very hot can this poor thing be saved ? There are others the same .....

I got these peppers from a buddy of mine and I have no ideal. what they are. Would appreciate any help identifying what they are I'm thinking one is cayenne pepper and the other is beyond me

I just wanted to show off my 100-day vertical garden (peppers only). I started without doing any research, and this sub helped me a lot. The next step is finding a place to plant them.

Some pots have too many plants; this happened because I planted multiple seedlings to increase the chances of getting healthy plants (they were all grown from seed).

I built the irrigation system entirely myself, using an ESP32.

I'm so excited to see that red peeking through!

How soon do you think I should harvest? I don't want to accidentally wait too long.

First peppers we don't know what they are and the second is a shishito and they have been growing for a while but I have no idea when to pick them since I'm new to this also new flower Bud's on my other plants are falling off before blooming especially my Tabasco pepper plant and my hobanero is there anyway I can prevent this?

Started this year a little late but it’s so amazing how quickly things change. Everything is looking pretty decent I would say. Can’t wait for 100% fresh salsa!

We have Tusta babies, Dragon Thai, Trinidad Scorpion, Habañero babies, and my some oddly shaped Ghost peppers lol reading ahead someone said "odd pod" and that's definitely true here. I also have Carolina Reapers but those are just baby plants, not yet flowering. Maybe a few weeks to go.

So I also have Cayenne on a separate property but I'm more comfortable with those. They're doing great, like my Thai there. I just want to check myself before I wreck myself. Thank you in advance.

P.S. Just tell it to me straight because I'm having a good time with them and I want to make sure I'm doing the best for them

Last night a deer got into the yard where my peppers are. They destroyed some tomatoes and really pruned back some of my peppers. I think they will survive but it’s pretty late in the season. I wasn’t sure how much of a crop I was going to have as not much fruit has set yet.
I still have several habaneros that weren’t damaged.
I’m glad they were in grow bags and I could move them to the upper deck.

Hi! These are all from the same Shishito plant. I’ve never had one produce stocky, red peppers along with long, green ones. The green ones are all from the top of the plant while the red are for the bottom. The only thing I can think of is that the red ones are most likely not getting a lot of light… This is only my second year gardening. Has anyone else ran into this issue? Thanks!

I bought these from a local grower and have reached out to her as well. Just curious what I’m actually growing here since neither of these look like Hungarian paprika peppers. 😅 also, when do I harvest these varieties? I was waiting for them to turn red. Will they? Thanks!!!

I bought this Purple UFO plant on eBay and it arrived here in great shape. I transplanted it into this 5 gallon bucket with at least eight 1/2” holes drilled in the bottom for drainage and filled with Kelloggs Organic Patio Plus container mix. It was doing great, then out of nowhere it wilted like this. I feel like I’ve been watering enough and not overwatering, and this mix supposedly has fertilizer in it already and recommends not adding fertilizer the first month. What could be causing this? Also, is it salvageable or is it done for?

But I love them.
