Can You Grow a Bell Pepper From a Grocery Store Pepper?

I took a single seed from a store-bought bell pepper, planted it, and filmed everything that happened over the next 108 days — from germination to a fully ripe, red pepper. Most store-bought peppers are picked before the seeds fully mature, so germination is never guaranteed. This one made it — and this timelapse condenses 108 days of growth into 86 seconds: sprouting, first true leaves, flowering, fruit set, and the slow color change from green to deep red. Everything was grown indoors under grow lights. If you want to try this yourself: let the seeds dry for a few days before planting, keep the soil warm (around 25°C / 77°F), and be patient — peppers are slow starters. #timelapse #bellpepper #seedtoharvest
