Pepper Cuttings?

Starlight · December 19, 2015

Will still be several weeks before my head will be cleared to spend more than few minutes on computer a week, so if I don't answer your post right away, don't think I am ignoring you.

In the past I have dug up and planted in containers a few peppers and kept them alive over the winter to get a jump on spring and a bigger plant, but while I was looking at this hot chocolate pepper I brought in for winter I was wondering this.

Can you take cuttings off a pepper plant and root them? I have rooted cutting on flowering plants and tomatoes and such, but never tried on a pepper before. I had asked another pepper grower, but they didn't know the answer either.

Do folks do it or just keep growing new plants every year?

Appreciate any help and a how to do it, if possible and I'll be back in couple weeks to check post.
