I placed a thermometer in the system & temps are 82- 84*F in there...that along with the humidity are  quite adequate IMO to promote germination.
It's a closed system & more or less self contained...for now I just have to wait "patiently" for final results...
FYI..The Seed Starting System (separate purchase)was protected with the clear plastic covering & I just flipped it onto the SSS & viola ..ah ha it worked. :onfire:
look..see :shh:

Special thanks to GIP for sharing seeds with me & to Big Mike also...&  thanks to you for visiting  my Glog..will keep you posted/pixs too...Ciao. ;)
 
 
 
Well...been gone for a long  while due to unexpected/necessary travel far from the home front.
 
Sooo...unfortunately, my grow plans has been altered ..lost some of my wilds :mope: ...so will just "soldier on" with what's on hand
and be happy that I did not loose all  ...although they're in  need of some cheering up/TLC. ;)

Sorry to hear that. As you say, at least you didn't lose them all. Maybe some you labeled WP will gand keep you postedto ahead and germinate now if you keep them watered?

Time will tell.. 'thou it's getting  late early per Yogi....will get back up to speed and keep you posted.
Thanks for your kind comments., ;)
 
 
What they said!
We can all relate, Sandy. At least I can!
 
I'm happy you have a grow to go forward with.
With your nurturing skills, the survivors will be
awesome, for sure!
 
Something good will come out of it all  :cool:
 
Oh yeah, welcome home  :welcome:

Thank you Paul..Not a total loss...but doing my best,I did put them in the NICU that being my specialty ;) 
and they have responded very well & now ready to move on to the Intermediate Unit..& bigger pots,then hopefully
in a few wks I should be able to transition them to outside AKA Regular Nursery Care. :P 
Hope your plants are doing great..will have to catch up ASAP.
 

 
 
Well it's been a tad busy here & the uncooperative weather hasn't made my indoor plants real happy..actually
everything is behind but I have a few to save face...that being said the Woodlands plant I have around
just thrive in this moisture laden/sunless & cool environment..have quite a few under the trees around our property.
 
Ulupica La Paz  has just taken off indoors...was said to be Cardenasii,but we  know it takes 2 to tango so in 2018  when it
begun to pod up I knew I won't be dancing to any Bolivian music anytime soon...it's an Eximium..
 
 

..Copied photo of Cardi...oh ..I do so want  seeds, are impossible to get & they're usually not true...& that is a true statement.. strongly suggest isolating wild seeds that are to be shared,otherwise why bother eh? So that being said who has seeds? :rofl: 




Capsicum cardenasii is a plant species in the genus Capsicum and the family Solanaceae. It is a diploid with 2n=2x=24. It is a member within the C. pubescens complex, a group of closely related Capsicum species. It is closely related to C. eximium. It is native to the Andes, and it can be found in Bolivia.[1] The native name is ulupica.[2]

 

Vegetative characteristics

Capsicum cardenasii, like most members of the Pubescens complex, is a perennial plant that develops woody stems. The plant can grow up 2–3 feet high with a width of 1-1.5 feet. The leaves are narrow, lanceolate and pubescent. Plants generally produce between 1 and 2 flowers at the internodes. The petioles grow erect and have campanulate, pendant flowers.%5B3%5D The corolla is white and purple colored.%5B2%5D The plant produces small, fleshy, red fruit. It is likely the wild ancestor of rocoto peppers.[4]
The plant requires a cool, freeze free environment and long growing season similar to its native environment in the Andes.[1]
Reproduction

After fertilization C. cardenasii develops small round red berries, sometimes referred to as chiltepins. The fruits contain a small number of seed. The fruit are pungent, near 30 000 SHU (Scoville Heat Units), making them quite spicy.
Capsicum cardenasii is self-incompatible, and exhibits unilateral incompatibility with species outside the pubescens clade.

CAPPUCCINO CHELTEPIN..like most 'tepins will probably be a late bloomer.
