00:0010 Gardening Mistakes Everyone Makes When Growing Anaheim Peppers
00:04Not Providing Adequate Support
00:07Install stakes, cages, or canes early, tying loosely to prevent breakage, rot, and improve sun exposure and pollinator access.
00:18Skipping Mulch
00:18Apply 2 to 3 inches of organic mulch to regulate moisture, suppress weeds, stabilize soil temperature, and support beneficial insects.
00:286. Harvesting at the wrong time
00:31Pick firm, glossy green, or fully red pods and use clean shears to avoid premature or late harvest for best flavor.
00:407. Planting too early
00:41Wait for nights above 55 degrees Fahrenheit and soil temperatures above 60 degrees Fahrenheit
00:47and harden off transplants by gradually exposing them to cooler nights and breezy days over 7 to 10 days.
00:558. Neglecting soil fertility
00:579. Amend with compost and a balanced 5-10-10 fertilizer and add mid-season feeds for vigorous growth, flowering, and pollinator support.
01:069. Crowding Plants Too Closely
01:0810. Space Plants 18 to 24 inches for airflow, disease reduction, stronger stems, and easier pollinator access.
01:1710. Plant Spacing Before Transplanting
01:2010. Overwatering the Peppers
01:2210. Water deeply but infrequently, letting the top inch dry.
01:2611. Mulching helps prevent fungal issues, yellowing, and poor fruit set.
01:3012. Failing to Rotate Crops
01:3211. Rotate every 2-3 years to reduce soil-borne diseases and nematodes, and alternate peppers with crops like corn or beans.
01:4012. Ignoring Pest and Disease Signs
01:4311. Scout twice weekly for aphids, mites, weevils, and fungal spots and encourage beneficial insects.
01:5013. Treat fungal spots early with neem oil or copper sprays.
01:5414. Insufficient Sunlight
01:5614. Provide 6 to 8 hours of direct sun as shade reduces flowering and heat.
02:0215. Use reflective surfaces or movable containers if needed.
02:0615. Use Reflective Surfaces or Movable Containers if needed.
02:0717. Use Reflective Surfaces or Movable Containers if needed.
