Can i grow peppers from the seeds out of a green pepper?

Question

I'm on mission now! i need to grow things. I've just cut up a green pepper and wondered if its possible to plant the seeds from it. If so i will need to plant in a pot, will this be possible?

Answer 1

Dotty and Amz are right about drying them before planting. Assuming your a novice I would plant them in small pots filled with moist potting soil, cover lightly with plastic and set them in a warm spot. After they sprout in about a week, remove the plastic and put them in a warm sunny window and keep watered until they're ready for the great outdoors. However, most commercial growers use hybrid seed, so don't expect your plants to produce peppers that resemble the one the seeds came from.

Answer 2

Yes, they would probably grow, but you probably won't get any green peppers from the plants.

Peppers are hard to grow here, and should be grown under cover (glass/plastic).

There are many different types, you need to buy seeds in a packet for sale here, otherwise your pepper may be only suitable for growing in some foreign climate.

Answer 3

Yes. You will need to give it plenty of light. You need a good loose compost. I believe it will be best to buy a packet of seeds as these are treated against rot and other stuff.
You certainly need to get expert gardening help (I'm not an expert). I love growing things it gives a great sense of satisfaction but things can go badly wrong leaving you disappointed.
A great way to start is with Courgettes....very easy to grow and you get more than you could possibly eat.but theres nothing like picking your own stuff fresh..
Get some potatoes in now....

Good Luck.....

I consider the two solutions and can upload that they do no longer transplant exceedingly nicely. That suggested, I even have offered small vegetation that did fantastic. each and every 12 months I boost peppers from seed packets, sown outdoors. final 12 months replace right into a late initiate so I placed them in a great pot introduced indoors till now freezing, and it sits in my kitchen now with some dozen peppers on it. Who knew?

Answer 5

Odds are the seeds won't germinate, You need to save seeds
from a ripe pod. You also need to know if the pepper was a hybrid. If it was a hybrid it won't reproduce true

As a beginner, your better of to buy seeds

Answer 6

I've never tried a pepper but I guess you could. When I save flower seeds, I put them on a paper towel on a paper plate to dry. I would say if you didn't do that to your seeds, they would just rot.

Answer 7

YES YOU CAN GROW THEM. PREP AS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE STATED. BUT KEEP IN MIND. ALL FRUITS AND VEGGIES WE BUY ARE HYBRIDS. THEIR SEEDS LOSE SOME OF THESE QUALITIES. YOUR PLANTS FROM SEEDS WILL NOT BE AS BIG OR STRONG AS THE ORIGINAL PLANT. YOUR WILL NOT HAVE AS MANY FRUIT (OR VEGY) OR AS BIG. IF YOU KEPT USING THE SEEDS FROM YOUR PEPPERS, EVENTUALLY THEY WOULD BE VERY SMALL WEAKER PLANTS BEARING LITTLE SMALL FRUIT, LIKE THEY DID A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.

Answer 8

chances are that that pepper is a HYBRID these seeds are more likely to take after one of their grandparents
so, you may end up with, a totally different pepper than you thought they would be.
also, your yield may not be as good a hybrid or open-pollinated "heirloom type"
these seeds may also me more prone to a disease

IN THE COMMERCIAL BUSINESS, they try to make better profits with better products. meaning, they usually use hybrid seeds that are not prone to diseases and produce bigger fruits

Answer 9

Yes it is possible! But, you must dry the seeds first in the sunnny. Plant them in a pot, and when they begins to grow... like two inches tall... you will have to transplant them.
Good luck!

Answer 10

here in the UK all peppers are grown from seed, start them off in a seed tray, then put them in single fibrous pots, then plant them in your garden
