Thanks, all.....very informative... :hot:

Has anybody here grown these little "devils"....the fruit is about 1 inch X 1/2 inch and start off as yellow, which is when I thought they were ripe; however, since I missed a few weeks of picking they have turned a lucid white in color.  When they were yellow, I thought I was growing a...

I think you will be pleasantly surprised.   :drooling: Yeah, baby!!!  Look at those little "rubies".....thanks for the pic!! I'm in Louisiana as well.....these peppers seem to enjoy the climate here better than most peppers....

Hi....and welcome. I don't think you can overwater your plants if it prevents them from wilting.  Maybe you should move them where they get morning sun only--at least 6 hours....cut back on watering when the fruits are close to ripening....only other suggestion is to visit some local farmers and...

Hi, Scarecrow.....Tepin peppers are slightly different than Pequins in that Tepins are round, and thus, the true "bird's eye" pepper.  I haven't tried Tepin peppers, but I hear that they have similar growing requirements as Pequins.  Try growing the plant if you can get them in Jersey....if not...

How mature are you plants?  If they are small and starting to blossom, pruning shouldn't be necessary.  However, if you have a lot top growth, pruning would be ideal.  Take about a third of the top off.  It would also allow energy to focus on the roots as well as new leaves, and you will end up...

Thank you....what types of hot peppers can you grow in Oregon?  I lived in Sonoma County (North Bay), California for 4 years and found that it wasn't great hot pepper country.  The days were relatively cool and the night chilly, even in July.  I did grow a variety from Africa called "Fish", and...

Anybody out there growing these hot little jewels?  They also go by 'bird's eye' pepper.  This plant grows wild in Mexico and Texas as well as in many yards here in SE Louisiana.  It is resistant to everything other peppers aren't.  I am growing pequin peppers which are oblong versus round as in...

I think as long as you don't disturb the root system, your flowers should be OK.  However, you could cut the blooms off, delay flowering, and allow the energy to go to forming more roots or letting the root system adjust to the new growing media.  Once the roots are settled in, the flowering...

Just thought I'd drop in and say hello and thank you for allowing me to become a member.  I love peppers, growing peppers, eating peppers, especially hot peppers.  South Louisiana, contrary to popular belief, isn't exactly great pepper-growing country.  Humidity exacerbates many pests, bacterial...
