Why a white Jalapeño ?   Just checked the orange Jalapeño ( https://www.pepperseeds.eu/jalapeno-orange.html ) that´s sold since some time. It´s anything else, but not a Jalapeño.   You may use Jalaro in it´s unripe form, that´s pale white-yellow  

@ J.H., what is the white powder at the surface of the substrate, is it mold or salt?   The picture of bleaching leaves normally indicates too hard water with too high pH, leading to chlorosis.

In this case the plant may have developed a genetical defect and doesn´t produce chlorophyll any more or only in unsufficient quantities. If I´m right, there is no help with standard fertilizers, new soil or extra watering.   High degree albinos can only survife if they are transplanted to a...

A stock of more than 300 peruvian varieties is hold and cultivated at the University of LIma, Peru. They have a Facebook page where they publish about their work: Ajíes del Perú - Proyecto Capsicum, Huerto UNALM - Facebook   Under pictures you´ll find a page with their February plant donation...

  Limo doesn´t come from lemon, it says that the pepper grows in the province of Lima, Peru.  Aji = pepper --- Limo = from Lima Same like some Europeans are confused with Lemon Drop, thinking this must have a lemon taste, because they don´t know that lemon means only yellow.   Regarding the...

What gives F3 X F2 X F6 ?

Don´t Google, ask the experts!   It´s Capsicum chinense  

    I got the seeds a number of years ago from Allen and was told that´s the true form, the seeds package was labeled Jamaican Scotch Bonnet TFM. At that time I didn´t know that there was a Trenton Farmers Market Scotch Bonnet, that was also abbreviated with a TFM   Allen told me last week, that...

CGN 21500 is well known as CGN 21500, so no other name needed.   Cheiro Roxa and Fidalgo or sometimes called Fidalga Roxa have been introduced much later and I couldn´t find anything about the history of the two varieties.   When I got a number of Brazilian accessions from the  Centre for...

First seeds for the 2017 season have been sown end of September already.   It will end up with more than 220 varieties = aprox. 1600 plants and I hope I will have enough water in the next hot summer.   Around 600 seedlings have been transplanted so far and grow in 1 Liter pots. All others will...

Since more than one year I declare all shipments as "small lots of seeds, Capsicum species, origin: Spain"  and so far didn´t get any info on shipments that have been confiscated.   The better way is to apply for a import permit that will give you zero risk. Import permits are valid for several...
