I accidentally broke the stem on this pepper a few weeks ago. I put it in water right away and it just now started growing roots. 2nd pic shows how far behind it is vs. other peppers I started at the same time

  1. Still badass that you have this going. I have rarely made this work in water, in soil it has been better for me. Nice work.

    Good ol’ swamp pepper. I’ve done this a couple of times, with peppers and other plants.

    People on reddit sometimes treat peppers like babies and princesses, but some just like to get treated dirty and rough.

    I’ve only gotten this to work once, but not with peppers. My last attempt ended with a stem rotting in a cup of water.

    Nice! Another way is to tape the stem. They can, if lucky, heal.

    I’ve had zero success rooting cuttings(even with rooting Hormone.. What kind of pepper is this? Did you do this indoors or outdoors?
