Green Peppers (Piman)

This Green Pepper (Piman) plant produced a few Peppers, but during the recent typhoon I put the plant in the house and all the fruit and leaves fell off. As soon as I put it back outside it grew new leaves and started to flower. It actually looks healthier, so believe it will produce many fruit.

I have to Green Pepper plants, but not getting many Peppers. I recently transplanted one of the plants to a larger container in hopes it improves.

I purchased two Green Pepper plants 4-6 weeks ago. They are both doing well and starting to flower.

Though this plant is in a smaller container, it is growing faster than the other plant. I suspect it gets more sun. From past experience, I've noted that Green Pepper plants don't seem to need a lot of soil, but it is still interesting how much larger this plant is compared to the other plant. Once it gets a little large I will move the plant to a semi-shaded place. I found the plant will be more productive and last longer if not stressed. Unlike Tomatoes that love the sun, but have a short life span, Green Pepper plants can live 1-2 years and continue to produce the entire time, if taken care of and not stressed.

I purchased two Green Pepper (Piman) plants yesterday and planted them where I could find some spare space. Also, to the right is a Celery plant. Snails nearly eat the entire plant two weeks ago, so I went out for several nights and removed the snails. I'm keeping an eye on the plant, but have not found any more snails and the plant has made an amazing recovery. 

I planted the second Green Pepper plant is an old container that was sitting around for a while. The soil was so dry it was like stone, but I managed to chisel out a hole and added some new soil and nutrients at the bottom. Green Pepper plants do not need a lot of soil or sun. One of my first Pepper plants was in a small flower pot, much smaller than this and it lived for more than two years and produced over 100 beautiful Peppers. I simply added nutrients every couple of months, watered it and kept it in a semi-shaded area.

Green Peppers (Piman) are still doing well and producing.

Nice condition.

I left some Peppers on the plant to turn red. They are sweeter.

These two small Green Pepper plants are full of fruit.

I picked 12 Peppers and left five smaller ones to continue growing.

A few Green Peppers are ready to pick.

Decent size.

Today's harvest.

Green Pepper (Piman)

If you recall from my 26 December post I removed the Green Peppers from this plant to promote flowering and you can see it worked.  

Green Peppers (Piman)

This Pepper is ready to picked anytime, but will get larger if left on the plant; however, picking the first fruit early promotes the plant to begin flowering again to produce more fruit.

I planted Green Pepper seeds in several containers a few months ago and nothing grew and reseeded, but nothing seemed to sprout. However, recently I have found plants in all the containers. For those that may think this container is too small, I have found Green Pepper plants grow well in small containers. The plants do not get large and do not produce a lot of Peppers at once, but do produce regular sized Peppers for a long period of time. My first Pepper plant was in a small flower pot about 6 inches deep, but it lived almost two years and produced over 100 Peppers. The plant just needs regular watering and some fertilize a couple times a year, but they do quite well in small containers and perhaps preferable for a balcony garden.

I started these plants from seed last May and transplanted them in June of last year. They were pretty productive earlier this year, but got infected with Stink Bugs that suck the sap from the leaves and stress the plant. After I removed all the bugs, I trimmed the plant back and added fertilizer. It has now bounced back and starting to flower again.

This is a third plant located in a tower. It also had a problem with stink bugs, but after removing them it bounced back and started to produce peppers.

This is the Green Pepper plant that I did not think was going to make it. It has fully recovered and producing peppers. I'm leaving some of the peppers on the plant until they turn red. The red color enhances your dishes and they are sweeter.

Paprika (Green Peppers, Piman)

The Paprika plants are producing well. I picked this Red Pepper after I took this picture. 

There are about six decent sized Peppers on these two plants that I plan to leave until they turn red or until I need a Green Pepper. 

However, I actually have a Green Pepper plant with three nice Peppers. It is not the best looking plant and now recovered from a stink bug attack.

 (9/10) This Green Pepper (Piman) plant is producing some really nice Peppers. I like to let the Peppers turn red since they are sweeter. Currently I can see Peppers of all shades, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red. Looks beautiful.

(8/29) I have 4 Green Pepper (Piman) plants and producing well.

Pepper Plants

All my Pepper plants are doing well.

Green Peppers and Paprika (Red Peppers)

My original Green Pepper (Piman) plant is still doing well, but not very productive. It is now 15 months old. Recently I trimmed it, removed all the leaves and added some fertilizer and it is just starting to develop new leaf growth and has a few Peppers.

I planted these plants in early October, which makes them about 8 months old. Both are doing well and full of Peppers.

I planted Paprika seeds in early June and transplanted two of the seedlings to larger planters.

Green Peppers (Piman)

(6/13) I planted this Green Pepper (Piman) plant in March of last year making it about 15 months old. It still looks healthy, but need to rejuvenate it. So, I cute off all the leaves and added some nutrients and fertilizer. It's starting to grow new leaves, but I decided to start a few more plants about six months ago and just recently transplanted them.

This is one of the plants I recently transplanted and it has a few Peppers and lots of flowers. 

This is the second plant I transplanted. There are no Peppers yet, but it is flowering.

My newest Green Pepper plant is doing well, but I removed some of the Peppers in order to get a few larger ones.

From my oldest plant.

(6/5) I transplanted this Green Pepper (Piman) plant to a larger container a couple weeks ago and it is now starting to flower. Green Pepper plants can last a year or more if taken care of. Key points to a long and productive plant is sufficient container space for a strong root system, regular feeding and watering, and trimming. Branches that start to grow outward faster than other branches can cause damage to the plant during high winds, so it is important to keep the plant symmetrical. You will notice I will need to trim to top right branch soon to keep it balanced. I have another plant that I planted in March 2019 and it is still going strong. I have gotten over 100 Peppers from that plant and it is still producing. 

Green Peppers (Piman)

Some Green Peppers started to turn red, so I picked them all and will sit them on the counter until they completely turn red. Now that all the Peppers are off the plant I cut off all the mature leaves and added some nutrients. This particular plant is over a year old and when I have done this in the past it starts growing new leaves and blossoms.
