In the plant profile series of videos, today we will look at growing
Cayenne Pepper
Cayenne is a hot chili pepper used to flavor dishes
I find cayenne pepper to be hot but not too hot at the same time
It tastes great when it's fresh as well as when it's dried and powdered
So here is our pepper plant
This pepper plant is from Bonnie Plants
This is available at most home improvement stores, garden stores
The kind of soil that peppers need is moist soil that's evenly watered most of
the time
A lot of nutrients which you can get by adding compost
And you also need hot weather
Peppers need warm of hot climates to thrive
So summers is a good time to plant peppers
So this is our cayenne pepper plant it's growing pretty well
The peppers are becoming larger every day
And although this paper looks large
You should wait for some time to harvest it
Because the cayenne peppers do grow very big
And you can see that in the upcoming sections of the videos
That the cayenne pepper does become big and does produce a lot
The cayenne pepper is in fact one of the most prolific paper plants to grow
So as you can see this is our first harvest from this pepper plant
The supports that we will be using to support our pepper plants
Is the Ultomato Cage
The Ultomato cage is
A great way to support to support your pepper plants
As well as tomato plants
And I had done a video review for this Ultomato tomato cage
You can see that video to review by clicking on the link on your screen
And if you want to know more about what kind of fertilizers
to use for the pepper plants
and what kind of watering the pepper plants need
Do check out the video on your screen for a lot of other details
So as you can see the cayenne pepper plant is producing a lot of peppers
big sized peppers
And for a plant of this size
This is a lot of of peppers
That the pepper plant is producing
And what I really like about the cayenne pepper plant is
It just keeps growing very well throughout the growing season
Almost no insects attack this pepper plant
And the heat of the cayenne pepper is just about perfect for
A variety of dishes that you can make
As you can see this pepper is really large
Its overflowing the palm of my hand
All the way to my wrist so that's a long pepper
And you can keep harvesting the cayenne pepper throughout the season
They just keep producing peppers
All thru
[music]
And a general rule with the pepper plant is that
The more peppers you harvest
The more the plant will produce
It's just a survival instinct of the plant
To keep producing more fruits
So that it goes into seed and that's how it promotes its generations
So as you can see
Within a few days you keep getting more and more peppers
Produced by the plant
So a single pepper plant is actually quite a lot
if you look at the number of peppers it provides
You do not need a lot of peppers
Unless you're cooking something really hot or
Making a lot of buffalo sauce
or something like that
I always like growing the cayenne pepper plant
Just because of its abundant harvest
From a single plant as you can see
You can keep harvesting a lot of peppers
So I would like to know from you My Youtube subscribers
What kind of peppers you like to grow?
Do you like very hot peppers like Serrano
or Cayenne
Or even hotter peppers There are a lot of hot peppers out there
Or do you like the milder ones like Jalapenos or Red and Green bell peppers
I'd like to know from you
