    Mine too! Mine got frosted in the GH early Autumn. It looked pretty dead, all the leaves had taken a hit I brought it in and cut all the dead off, I had more die back and I was left with a 5inch stick.....but suddenly I have growth

        You can always start them on damp tissue.

            Picture 3 Red Cherry

            Picture 4 jalapeño

            Picture 5 this is my overwintered chili plant. Have moved upstairs in the loft conversion as the conservatory was well to cold and the new shoots have been like that for a while.

            I have re sowed the hungarian hot wax so watch this space

              I mist the top of the compost with a spray bottle. Mind you, none of mine have germinated yet so it might not be the right thing to do.

              • Oh and if I were going to bottom water them, I would put some warm water in a bowl or old takeaway container or some such, and gently dunk the Garland 7 "pod" into it, then lift it out and return it to the propagator. I wouldn't flood the propagator base itself.

                • I sowed a few more last night (can’t stop once I have started

                  So I sowed 2 seeds each of :

                  Guntur Sannam
                  Teja (pictured)
                  Habanero White
                  Gelbe Kirschen
                  Jalapeno
                  Ohnivev

                  and

                    I never mist my seedlings..I think it encourages damping off.
                    Bottom water only for me....but I haven't got a super7.

                            I water mine from the tray with no issues that I'm aware of - its a sealed unit so no reason it should do any harm?!

                            • thanks everyone ,some good ideas there ,i have a pipette and a syringe and also im only using 6 out of the 7 props so i can take the empty one off and put a small kitchen jug with water in on the tray too warm it up before i water it ,vix i did water mine last night from the bottom and it hasnt caused any props so far ,cheers

                                I've lost count but that must be over 20 varieties! Do you have lots of room? What will you do with them all?
