Pepper Popper™ Pepper Plant Fertilizer

Most pepper fertilizers are either a generic vegetable garden blend or a synthetic fertilizer loaded with nitrogen that pushes fast leafy plant growth at the expense of fruit production. Pepper Popper™ was formulated specifically for pepper plants. It's a fermented, 100% bioavailable foliar spray that delivers essential nutrients and trace elements directly through the leaves, giving your plant a quick, natural bump of nutrition right when it needs it. In a five-way double-blind test, Jim put this pepper fertilizer up against four other formulations, and Pepper Popper™ won every single trial.

Yes. Pepper Popper™ works across all pepper varieties, including bell pepper plants, hot peppers, chili peppers, sweet peppers, and everything in between. All peppers (Capsicum annuum) are heavy feeders and fruiting plants that benefit from the same balanced nutrition. The fermented formula supports stronger fruit set and increased fruit development regardless of variety.

Pepper Popper™ can be applied at any stage of plant growth throughout the growing season. The pre-mixed liquid fertilizer is ready to use right out of the bottle. Just point at your pepper plant and spray. For best results, apply regularly during the growing season, especially once your plants begin flowering and setting fruit. There's no complicated mixing or scheduling. Use it as needed whenever your plants could use a boost.

Absolutely. Pepper Popper™ and Chicken Soup For The Soil® work together as a complete feeding system. Chicken Soup feeds the beneficial microbes in your soil and builds organic matter from the ground up, while Pepper Popper™ delivers nutrients directly through the leaves for faster nutrient absorption. Pairing them together is the best fertilizer approach for pepper growers who want maximum production.

Yellow leaves are one of the most common issues pepper growers deal with, and they're usually a sign of nutrient deficiency. Low nitrogen, poor nutrient content in the soil, or an off-balance soil pH can all cause yellowing. Because Pepper Popper™ is 100% bioavailable and absorbs directly through the foliage, it can deliver a fast correction when your pepper plant is showing signs of stress. For a longer-term fix, pair it with Chicken Soup For The Soil® to address what's happening below the surface.

Blossom end rot is typically caused by inconsistent moisture and calcium deficiency at the fruit level, not necessarily a lack of calcium in the soil. Pepper Popper™ supports overall fruit development and nutrient uptake, which helps your pepper plant access the nutrients it already has. For best results, maintain consistent moisture through regular watering or drip irrigation. Pair Pepper Popper™ with Chicken Soup For The Soil® to make sure your soil has the phosphorus, potassium, and secondary nutrients your peppers need for strong, problem-free fruit production.

Yes. While Pepper Popper™ was developed with the pepper plant in mind, the fermented foliar spray works well on tomatoes, eggplant, and other fruiting plants in your vegetable garden. Any plant that benefits from a foliar nutrient boost will respond to Pepper Popper™. For tomatoes specifically, pair it with Tomato Secret® in the planting hole for a complete feeding system above and below the soil. Chicken Soup For The Soil® or compost tea also makes an excellent pairing for full coverage across your entire garden.
