2024 Chilli Growing Thread

[~>Dg<~]

Got a chilli growing "kit" from the other half as a stocking filler for Christmas, sewed some reapers and chocolate habaneros a couple of weeks ago in a heated propagator, and had a couple of seedlings pop up in the last few days

Obviously they still need to grow a bit more, but TBH I have no idea what to do with them after - small pots on a nice sunny windowsill I guess?

Did some "tumbler" tomatoes at the same time which look to be doing really well, so those will be going in some hanging baskets too

upto yet my heirloom tomatoes , bell peppers and jalopeanos have sprouted. carolina reapers computer says no upto yet.

My reapers last year took ages to sprout and ages to grow

I have bought just two plants this year, one scotch bonnet and one jalepeno. There us still an outside chance i will have others but the seedlings i have grown need to play catchup serious style.

I bought 6 plug plants (all naga varieties) this year as my efforts last year to grow from seed didn't go so well. They all stopped growing after just a few small leaves.

Of the 6 I bought in, 5 have grown well and have been transferred to larger pots. The one that didn't do so well was too weak to breach the non-woven wrap. After some surgical effort, it's on life support. All leaves dropped, yet stem still strong and green. Let's see if it makes a comeback.

Of the 5 good ones, 2 today decided to flop. Not sure what that's about. They're all growing really well otherwise. One in particular is thriving. It has flowers and has started bushing out a bit.
