# Growing bell peppers from seeds for the first time! They've gotten…

_Posted by Fatima on 2025-08-06_

Growing bell peppers from seeds for the first time! They've gotten super tall and are flowering, but there's been no bell pepper production. Added a sun shade because of the heat where I live and tried pollinating by hand. Still no luck, anyone have any advice?

Flowering is a good sign! Just be patient

Even if it's been weeks of flowering? Just want to be sure, and thank you!!

Plant looks great. Proud of you for hand pollinating. Almost looks like one flower is about ready to go! Make sure they still get enough sunlight. If they get too cold at night that could be the reason they aren’t wanting to fruit. Give it another week! Keep us updated :)

Make sure to fertilize or it could very well be the heat it’s been a stressful summer for plants

No luck with any bell peppers unfortunately :(
