The Chili and Pepper winter sowing thread.

5 Hot Thai chillies are up this week, plus 2 Jalapenos (germination: 11 days)
Choc Hab, White Hab & Hungarian Yellow Wax came up today (10 days in heated prop)

2 more Cherry Bomb are up on the windowsill (no heated prop used. Germination: 35 days)

Today I potted on the Lemon Drops and bird food chillies (half in peat, half in peat-free for TeakDesk's challenge)

Hi, I tried a mixture of seeds inthe heated prop last week, checked on them today and the soil had dried out. I have re watered but wondered whether they will ever come true. The prop is left on 24 hours a day. Is this right? Its my first time with a heated prop.

not sure what you mean about coming true? are they self saved?

just keep the soil moist with the vents closed (if it has any) and wait till they come up

With the all new functioning search button I thought I'd resurrect this thread...
