How to grow Serrano Peppers in containers
Tips, Tricks
In today's episode we do a quick review of the Serrano Pepper plant. This prolific pepper plant is very easy to grow in containers. It does equally well in raised beds and in the ground. In Mexican cuisine the Serrano pepper is used to make pico de gallo and salsa as its noticeably hotter than jalapeno pepper. When growing pepper you need to make sure that you are using a rich organic matter based soil. Here we have used 50% compost and 50% potting mix. Serrano pepper plants will keep producing peppers for a long time throughout the season. The more you harvest, the more peppers the plant will produce.

do you ever grow Carolina Reapers peppers in your garden

Serrano chiles are an heirloom type, so let some ripen and save your seeds for a cheaper garden next year.

Do the serano peppers get sweet when they turn red?
-
I've been watching your channel for a while so i looked back and found this, i have a couple of questions, Do they turn red??, And how much epsom salt would i use per plant?

they like allot of calcium like tomatoes in addition to the mgso4, tend to get blossom end rot in hot weather if ya don't give extra w/ fertilization routine. Followed your advice on that with great results/ liked and subscribed

I have recently planted serrano pepper plant, but used only organic potting mix.Is there anything (copost/fertilizer) I could add now? I am in Orange County, CA. Thanks for your help. Love your videos!

do the pepper plants die off like tomato plants? or will they live year after year for how many years?
-
what is the light cycle I set my timer to for it to veg and not produce peppers

This is the only pepper variety we planted this year are still small babys. I do never prune my pepper plants either i dont even pick of the first few flowers as many do i usually get more than enough peppers anyway. I have two plants this year, maybe i should do an experiment to see how much it benefits or does not. My season is quite short as well.
When i was in Mexico i ate some toasted small serrano peppers (half the lenght of yours) and they were hotter than a habanero for sure. I have ate ones that are less hot to. Peppers seems to vary alot.
Thanks for the videos. -
I have new pepper plants that are about 8 inches tall and some have a couple peppers on them already. The problem is, My chickens got into them and pecked most of the leaves away...will they survive? I tried googling this question first but could not find anything ;}

Hello great video, Have you grown the Manzano pepper before? can't fine any info on how to grow this pepper.

Hi! I love your channel. Serrano peppers are our favorite. We include them in approx. 50% of our dishes. We prefer to eat them green, too. I have had little luck growing them myself, kinda pathetic harvest. I am definitely going to implement all your tips. Found this just in time, as it's time to get back into the garden here in the Southeast. Thank you so much.

Great video i grew a serano pepper plant from dried seeds 2 years ago. It gave me one harvest of 12 peppers then its second gave me 5. once i moved it i started to notice these squiggly lines on the leaves, and they yellowed in places. Lastly this tiny white looking insect completely covered the plant. It eventually died. Could you provide me with any info to make my second attempt at growing this pepper successful. Thanks again cheers

I have a serrano plant and live in central florida. I am not sure if it is the temp or water stress but my peppers are very very hot and are way hotter than jalapenos.

Is 5 gallons overkill for chilli plants? I grew all mine in 30cm pots last year which are about half that, and intend to do so again this year. The larger capsicums will be going in a raised bed. Then again we only have a short season for chillis/capsicums so they probably never would reach their full potential anyway. I have some that I tried to overwinter but they most likely died, so when I unpot them in a few weeks it will be interesting to see how rootbound they got.

Do you hand pollinate the peppers? Thank you for your hard work demonstrating how you garden!
