Hi from Mauritius

Seggaeman

Hi and best wishes to everyone. I am Seggaeman from Mauritius. This is a tropical island and the climate is pretty good for growing peppers. But unfortunately we only have frutescens varieties here.

​During a trip to Barcelona in April I bought bought a small plastic can containing five habanero peppers. Suffices to say that I got badly burnt when I took a bite into one of them  :onfire:   . I saved some of the seeds and I'm so glad I did because here's what I got as reward, after I sowed them in May:

​Afterwards I transplanted them in my garden.

​As you see there's one that's growing flowers. But in general they have stayed small. None of the plants is taller than 10 inches. What could be the reason? Is it perhaps because I sowed all the seeds in a single pot at first?

 
 
Hello and welcome! How long ago did you transplant them? Could just be a little transplant shock thats temporarily stunting their growth.
 
I'm hoping it's just transplant shock. Though it's been quite a while since I transplanted the ones in the photos. At least 2 months. Some of the plants are in individual pots and are all growing slowly.They aren't too tall either. Here is the biggest one (which has remained in the original pot that initially contained all it's siblings).

Hello and welcome to the forum Seggaeman. I hope your plants will grow faster and become good and healthy and reward you with some nice pepper goodness.
