I'm not having much luck again this year :( All my ones in pots are looking yellow and growing really slowly, no matter what potting mix I use or how often I fertilise them. I've been deliberately not watering them too much this time too which is the mistake I made last year. I moved some into...

is it too early to start seeds for next season already?? I put a few in 2 weeks ago and they've sprouted! I was expecting it to take a month or two from what I've read about these superhot seeds (it's my first time growing superhots from seed) so was pleasantly surprised. I'll have to leave them...

Thanks everyone :)

Thanks guys, will give that a try. I stripped off most of the affected leaves yesterday before spraying with the pesticide so will try that H2O2 in a few days also. Where do I get that from? Is it a common household item I might already have? I have some lime sulfur also, I heard that can be...

Hi   I'm having a few problems with my leaves again! I've done a bit of research and read that thrips can cause browning on the underside of leaves as well as some leaf curl but I also seem to be getting some weird white and sometimes black spots on the leaves that look a bit worrying.   Can...

Hi everyone I'm having a few problems with some of my plants leaves. I've had them growing in Osmocote multipurpose potting mix and water them only every couple of days/when they're drooping since summer in Perth has now ended. Recently there have been a few plants that have started to get...

Hi I have some jalapenos that I decided to move since they'd turned pretty much yellow. They were in terracotta pots sitting in direct sun and I think they were probably too hot as this is only location where the yellowing was happening. Anyway I went to replant them in the ground in a more...

Bah! Couldn't you have waited until a few more comments filtered in between your harvest and mine!! Now my 2 habaneros look extra crppy!!! haha jk :P. Very impressive mate!!!

I got my first plants at Bunnings too. Some orange hab seedlings and some jalapenos. They've been doing ok considering the mistakes I made early on which has stunted them I think (5 months old and still pretty tiny) but they've been growing a few pods so I've left them alone. I pulled these two...

I was down at the one in Melville yesterday arvo. Looked really good! I'd've bought some but I bought some direct from Wildfire Chilli the week before. I really hope Bunnings keep them going, would be great to be able to pick some up early next season wihtout having to head out to Canning Vale...

Here's that photo I promised. The one on the right still looks like a flower bud but it's tiny and brown/black. The one on the left looks brown/black too but doesn't look like a flower bud at all anymore.

yea mine too! I used to spend ages moving them around and pruning older brown/damaged leaves or whatever and feeding them etc but am trying to just let them be now. They've never seemed so happy, haha. Harry - /I'll post a pic of the "burnt" flower buds when I get home this afternoon. Thanks...

thanks for the reply. That's good to know that they do eventually grow back. We had a couple of weeks where it was like 36-40 degrees (this is a few weeks back when the flowers dropped off but they were falling before that also). I have the plants receiving morning sun until about 10.30/11am...

Hi everyone I'm having a tough time getting my plants to keep/make flowers and was hoping you could help with some questions. One of my orange habanero plants had loads of flowers a while ago but most of them dropped off. I've seen quite a few threads about this but haven't found an answer...

phew, I thought it was just me that checks on them multiple times a day! haha. I recently bought a jewellers loupe thing and have been spending quite a bit of time checking the leaves for pests (had a bit of a mite problem earlier that has scarred me). I'm pretty sure the neighbours think I've...

Thanks for all the help on my earlier question everyone, very much appreciated :) Was a bit worried because WA can be a bit funny when it comes to stuff like that but sounds like noones had any problems so far... with my luck though, stay tuned for the first :P haha

Fellow Perthies, I'm doing some forward planning for next season and trying to find the best places to buy seeds. From other threads I've seen it seems that Pepperlover.com and thehippyseedco are the way to go. Have any of you had any problems with seeds not arriving due to WA customs or...

Cool, thanks. I've just been watering them occassionally and letting them settle so I guess I'll keep doing that. I think I need to work on this patience thing :P haha.

Here are some of the ones that I got from Megamoo also. Thanks Megamoo! :D I trimmed some of the more yellow leaves off so they look a little bit naked but there's been new growth on all of them and they have "greened up" a lot. Choc Bhut - The leaves started getting more and more green from...

I wish! Dad has a crusty brown '75 LH that needs some serious work. I'm saving for a house atm but sometime down the line I hope to have a nice one of my own :D
