🙏🏻😊Thank you so much Dulce! I tried and failed, almost a half a dozen times to sprout those darn seeds. Without your videos I wouldn’t have a yard full of plants and I’d be stuck shelling out all that money for dried peppers.
I understand the difficulty of growing certain plants 🪴 I've been growing these peppers since i was 9 Im 35 now..by far one of the most rewarding peppers ! Hello from TUBAC AZ
Very nice garden I saw in a past video and I’m jealous of your Tepins. Haha I did forget to mention in my video that I did air dry the seeds after the bleach. Glad it worked out for you and thanks for the shoutout. Will have to try out the sowing on the surface next time as well. Keep posting videos!!
Great video I started my chilitepin! I started them off inside of a napkin put the seeds into the wet napkin put them into a ziplock bag and let him sit for 3 or 4 days keep checking them until they sprout roots once they sprout roots and put them into a soil you should be fine I didn't use bleach solution but that could possibly be better as well good luck growing thanks for the video
My moms town in Mexico grows them, it's their only chili they use! It grows everywhere there...There was a rumor going around that to germinate the seed a bird had to digest it and poop it out🤣🤣🤣 I'm so glad I came across this video!!
@Christina montalvo I’m glad this video was helpful. Hopefully it’ll help you and many other people to grow them. In Sonora MX they call them el oro rojo.
@Jenkins 🙏🏻thank you so much! I really appreciate the positive feedback. I have another Chiltepin sprouting video from this year and an update video I’m working on now.
It means so much that you liked it. I was a bit nervous posting information about other people’s video creations. Btw, I can’t wait for more videos of your gigantic Piquin plants.
@@tucsonurbangardening2701 I can't wait to share her growth progression 😊😊 it's going to be a time lapse, so it's taking a bit of time to get it to where it's been till now😊😊
Before I found videos I got a few to sprout with the paper towel baggie method, two of the four that sprouted have grown their first two non-seed leaf leaves. They’re about one to two inches tall now
greetings, thanks for this very informative video. i have had success using pepper guys method and after watching this, i will try Dulces top sowing method. question - do you happen to use heating pads or not? thank you again
Yes, I use a heat mat. I set it to 82 degrees f (28.8-ish c) and keep a humidity dome on until most seed have sprouted and shed their seed coats. I linked a recent video on the topic below. I think the heat mat temp was raised to 82 after I published the video. ruclips.net/video/UEXpBMW7-3o/видео.html
I have a few experiments going on over here. I am seriously over seeding things, and then ignoring them. I water them in with a nice compost extract, and then leave them alone. I have woodchips on the ground. I figure, if I get 1 in 1,000 to germinate, then I have gotten a super desert friendly plant to germinate! (I am not doing that with Moringa, as they have already run that race...with not good results.)
@GreenMonsterDee420 I didn’t place most of my plants in good locations. Most just weren’t getting enough light. I moved them and planted a bunch in ground and now all my chiltepin plants from last year are flowering. Here in Arizona they need filtered light but evidently more sun that I was giving them. Hope that helps a bit.
They’re single plants in the bags. They’re very bushy plants. I posted an update on them the other day. They’re planted directly in the ground now and are two years old.
They were about a year old in this video. I planted all but two in the ground and they got quite large. They’re about two years old now and last year I grew more. I can’t get enough of them.
True but they don’t grown in direct summer sun. Also I live in the the Sonoran Desert and if I planted them in full sun they’d die. The wild ones are usually found on the south side of nurse plants like mesquite or hackberry. In the summer the plant is in partial shade. In the winter it gets direct sun and is protected from most frosts. I’m super lucky to live within driving distance of the Wild Chilli Botanical Area and go at least once a year. It’s the furthest north (viable) population of wild Chiltepins. Glad you’re interested in these spectacular peppers. 😁
I couldn't find chiltepins in orange county but i found chile tepins which confused me! I guess chiltepins in the correct way of spelling? My dad always crumbled the dry ones on to his food and I started doing the same as an adult :)
Is there a difference in piquin and chiltepin. I'm in DeWitt County Texas and my native peppers are round but 2 I purchased are more egg shaped and are purplish in color.
Yes and no… lol this is as clear as mud to me. For the record what I say next was regurgitated from stuff I read online when I was obsessed with answering the same question: Pequín and Chiltepin peppers are different. Chiltepin peppers are the only wild pepper that’s native to the US. Chiltepin peppers are small and round. They’re very hot and can be between 50,000 and 100,000 scoville units. Pequín Peppers are slightly larger and are oval shaped. They aren’t as hot as a Chiltepin and average between 30,000 and 60,000 scoville units. They reportedly came from the Mexican state of Tobasco. I don’t know if they’re a true wild pepper or a domesticated version. The names can sometimes be used interchangeably but the shape is usually a dead giveaway. The ones you purchased are probably Pequín but could also be a hybrid of Chiltepin.
@@tucsonurbangardening2701 thank you. Since my native ones are usually found under trees do they grow best in shade or is it just because that's where the birds deposited the seeds?
@@billypabst3272 both! They need nurse plants and don’t do well with direct sunlight at all. I think you’d need 80-90% shade cloth to replicate a nurse tree. But also they are very dependent on birds to breakdown their seed coat to germinate.
Aren’t they delicious! If you’re in Tucson there is a Carnicería called El Herradero Carnicería y Panadería on 22nd Street that sells them cheaper than the grocery store. The packages are larger and the peppers are fresh and much hotter than the commercially packaged ones.
@@tucsonurbangardening2701 I think I sprouted these lol. Thing is I mixed different seeds in the coco peat. Majority chiltepin. Some sprouts are light green like this though
These wild chilli plants are believed to be the wild ancestor of all Capiscum annum varieties like bell pepper, jalapeños, serranos, poblanos, etc. They have a very addictive, smoky flavor and are very hot. They can range from being just hot, to hotter than a habanero.
@@Psp-id7uw my first mini greenhouse was a leftover deli container. Yours has more character. 😂 Thanks for the suggestion! I keep thinking about starting a tik tok account but haven’t yet.
Keep trying! You really can do this. 😊 Here is the link for another video I posted where I sprouted a bunch of Chiltepin seeds that were collected in 2017. ruclips.net/video/UEXpBMW7-3o/видео.html

i cracked one chiltepin, and dropped the seeds into a small cup of soil. on plant is growing
Thank you. I'm in New Mexico and just asked a forum of locals who's able to successfully been able to grow.
I appreciate this channel.

What did the forum suggest?
Great videos by the way! ‼️🌶
Grow in pots
@@JnkAbstrq 👍🏼‼️🌶
@@ogadlogadl490 thanks so much. I really appreciate the kind words
I had s very hard time germinating these. I finally had success when i cut a tiny part of the pepper seed husk. Ot grew almost immediately after that.
I’ve heard that worked but haven’t met anyone who actually tried it until now. Thanks for the tip!
lol i have a huge wild one growing in my yard. till a few days ago thought it was poisonous but now I've got a new cooking ingredient.
You’re very lucky! Congrats on the find
So you chopped the whole thing down 👎😢😊. I bet that really scared you 😂😆😂😊

I am going to have to check out this bleach solution, sounds interesting 😲😲😊
Lol if I had birds to eat them first, I wouldn’t have needed the bleach soak.
What month did you plant the chili plants ? I live in Texas and is always hot here .. but I never knew when people plant the chili seeds ??
I have good luck with the bleaching method

If you and you wife decide to post any videos, I’d love to watch them. There isn’t a lot of Tucson specific content out there.
Thanks for the vid! Just ordered some seeds
You’re welcome! Good luck with your grow.
Did it take a while to flower? I have one from last year in the grown getting bushy but no flowers yet. I'm in southern California. Thanks

Just suubscribed to The Pepper Guy, I can't wait to see his videos 😊😊
I hope he checks out your channel too! You both have very different but super informative content.
Thank you so much!
I planted the seeds about 3” deep none came out try again this year surface the seeds got about 30 plants
Buy some from you!
is that big bushy form it grow in is that one seed or one plant or many in one grow bag?
They’re single plants in the bags. They’re very bushy plants. I posted an update on them the other day. They’re planted directly in the ground now and are two years old.
Hi! How many seedlings did you put into those gallon pots?
How long did take for you plants to get that big?
They were about a year old in this video. I planted all but two in the ground and they got quite large. They’re about two years old now and last year I grew more. I can’t get enough of them.
Do you use any specific soil mix or nutrients? Yours are beautiful
How are they delicate to direct sun.. those things grow wild in the deserts of Sonora
True but they don’t grown in direct summer sun. Also I live in the the Sonoran Desert and if I planted them in full sun they’d die.

I think the name difference is regional but the flavor and heat are universal.
I read that it’s different chiltepin more spicy idk thoe 😊

Time to experiment 🧪 👍🏼 🤠 🔬
How often do I water them?
New sub !!
Thanks friend
@@tucsonurbangardening2701 Do you sale the pepper plant ?

What is bleach made of?
Sodium hypochlorite?
I use Gibberellic acid Ga3 you put 1 gram on 1L of water and let the seed for 24 hours on the solution
Do u sell yor plants?
@jackieblack3859 I haven’t but I’ve thought about it. If you’re in Tucson, Ecogro seems to have them quite a bit.
Seen a comment where you have to remove the chili oil on the seed to allow it to germinate. Bleach method, coca cola soak
I didn’t know that was why. But it’s true the bleach soak works.
@@tucsonurbangardening2701 I think I sprouted these lol. Thing is I mixed different seeds in the coco peat. Majority chiltepin. Some sprouts are light green like this though

These wild chilli plants are believed to be the wild ancestor of all Capiscum annum varieties like bell pepper, jalapeños, serranos, poblanos, etc. They have a very addictive, smoky flavor and are very hot. They can range from being just hot, to hotter than a habanero.
Do you have any seeds
Yes… but my original seeds came from a packet of peppers I bought at a grocery store.
@@tucsonurbangardening2701 still works I’ve got the wild Texas ones

They are
Just put them in coco peat and a mini green house from a drive thru tacos container
I’ve got my fingers crossed this works for you!

Lo siento entiendo un poco de Español pero soy una estudiante principia y no puedo hablar en español bien.
Zero success with pepper seeds lol. I've seen comments saying "just throw the seeds in the dirt and they'll grow" lol. No way.
