Anyone got any chillis yet?

[Crundy]

PT: Did you want some more chilli seeds sending to that france?

Sounds okay Mac, it says its a compact variety.

[Mac]

Thanks for that. Didn't realise this gardening malarky would be quite so worrying!

[Mchanen]

Sounds OK to me Mac, at least you're getting some chillies! Mines overwintered and growing leaves but no chillies yet

I did have one flower on it but it fell off- really disappointed

[Crundy]

My scotch bonnet really REALLY didn't like being put outside and so is still sulking even though it's back in the warm. Hopefully should recover and give me some more fruits this year

[Mchanen]

I think chillie plants have a mind of there own lol

I moved mine to the other side of my living room as i need the space where it was but it started drooping- i moved it back by the window and it was happy again! It didn't like having too much water either- very fussy plant

It seems to like being next to my rubber plant as well- if a branch rests on the rubber plant leaf it starts to grow up and along it

[Mac]

Another question (paranoia setting in!), both the plants are in abuot 8in pots and a couple of roots are just poking out the drainage holes. Should I repot? Would seem logical but thought it might interfere with the whole flowering thing!

[Mchanen]

I think you maybe best repotting- i'm not sure if it will upset the plant if it's flowering, suppose you would just have to be gentle with it

My Chilli plants in a 12" pot and seems happy in it! Well it's been in there since last year anyway

[Crundy]

You can keep them in small pots, it's actually a good way to stop them getting too big and taking over the house. The only problem is that you get smaller chillis!

growing naga morich, fatalii and hungarian hotwax this year and all are about the 4 leaf stage so not expecting much till middle of summer at earliest.

[Crundy]

As my favorite scotch bonnet has committed suicide I think I may have to plant a few more seeds.

[coreopsis]

Commited suicide...I'll commit with mine-they can't make up their mind if they are growing or not-they have 4 pairs of true leaves and something on the top that might be considered a flower bud

I'm new to this and planted Jalepeno & Hot mexican which are now 2 leaves high and are out in the cold frame. They seem not to be growing much.

I'm expecting my greenhouse being delivered in a fortnight but wondering should I put them back on the conservatory window-bottom for the time being or should I leave them now they are used to being outside?

[smallblueplanet]

Bring them inside, poor things will be 'freezing', they like hotter temperatures.

[Peter Bluestar]

I'm on it!
