This time we will share how to grow Jalapeno peppers in recycled water bottle a very famous Mexican Chillies For the seeding container we use a 1.5 L bottle with the top cut off but not all the way through make some holes on the side to the bottom the planting medium we use is a mixture of soil and compost 1:1 fill about a third of the container these are the jalapeno seeds we happened to get 1 fresh ripe fruit and took the seeds but you can also buy the seeds online we use this container because it will protect the newly grown plants from animal you can also use any container give a little water, this is pond water so a bit greenish, but you can also use regular water then put it in a shady place after 2 months the results are like this there are some that don't grow, but this is enough we prepare the final container we cut the top but not all the way through so it can open-close and on the side we give lots of holes for aeration you can also use any container we use this container, in addition to recycling it will also protect the plant from excess water when it rains because chilies are prone to dying if it gets too much water the planting medium remains a mixture of soil and compost 1:1 then we move the plant to the large container clean the weeds this is after 11 weeks we pick the first batch of flowers to give the plant a chance to grow a bit bigger first we wait until it is at least 12 weeks old before we let the flowers become fruit Jalapeno pepper does not require pruning or cutting the shoots because even without pruning, the branches are already numerous and lush so remember, no need to prune after 14 weeks the flowers that become fruit are quite numerous and after 16 weeks the fruit is already large the color is purple blackish but this is only the part that is exposed to direct sunlight while the bottom part that is not exposed to sunlight will be green after 18 weeks some of the fruit has turned red Jalapeno chili is usually harvested when it is still green not red because it is exposed to direct sunlight the green color becomes blackish purple if you want the color to be full green, you can put it in a shady place or in a greenhouse because this is our first time growing Jalapeno peppers, so we want to pick both the red and the green ones, to compare the taste so the black ones are not as spicy as the red ones, but the taste is more unique the level of spiciness is also standard in our opinion not firecracker level, there are hotter cayenne peppers on the market well fortunately, besides the bountiful fruits, Jalapeno peppers can continue to grow big and live for more than 5 years so we can have a continuous stock of fresh chilies easy right, good luck
