I think think your plants look healthy too... A bit crowded though....
 

Yeah.. I not have a lot of soil and i have a lots of seed. I have to buy more soil.
 
Yeah they look great! I think too that they would probably like a little more space. Each plant would like its own pot!

Welcome to THP!

I'ts true, but I have a lot of plants and no have soil. In the next season I put one plant on his own pot.
 
Hello Alejandro, welcome to THP!
 
I will say no more to put each plant in separate pot :) I understand, you have not enough soil. But I suppose you will need to fertilize more often, with so many plants in one pot.
 
Your plants are looking very good so far, I like them.
 
If still grow like this, with more than one plant in a pot, try to use smaller plants, more suitable for this. I don't know how will manage your rocotos to grow all together there, waiting for your pics to see.
 
PM me your address, I will sent you some seeds of peppers growing not so tall.
 
Hi. If you are in Córdoba and want to get seeds, in "mercado norte" you can buy locoto pods, aji amarillo's and a couple of other varieties. If they are ripe the seeds will probably germinate, that's where I got many of my seeds from. Some verdulerias also have purira pods (puriras are very pretty plants with quite hot pods). On the other hand, I once bought some supposedly cayenne seeds in fancy packgaging in a supermarket (I think it was carrefour), and they turned out to be a baccatum long red (not even close to cayenne).

Hello rghm1u20, I don't  know how plant is small or big... I plant each seed that I find. I find rocotto, purira and Capsicum baccatum. I promise that in the next season I'll have one plant in one pot. I have to buy more soil. I´m a very happy for you proposal. I'm searching a Dorset Naga, this is perfect for me beause each plant have a lots of fruits, this plant are profitable. Tanks for you proposal. I will send my direccion.

That's exactly what I did here. I have a answer for you. Do you know Córdoba Capital ?  for the another hand, I have to visit a lot's of supermarket and buy a spicy sauce whit seeds inside. I hope to find seeds inside to germinate.
 
 
 
And now i have photos to update this thread.
 
there are a 6 purira (rainow bolivian) and 2 rocotos. Most of them have one pot in a one plant.

Last time I was in Argentina, some relatives gave me "Puta de Parilla" peppers - but they had to search for them.  LOL
 
We make empanadas with hot peppers.  And lots of homemade hot sauce with Tortilla Espanola.  Your Argentine food tastes great with some heat.  Shame nobody there knows!
