Not sure if same with chillies but i've posted tomato plants before. I just water well and wrap the pot in gladwrap. Then i roll the whole plant and pot in newspaper making a cylinder. I put it standing upright in the mailing box. A 22cm box can take about 6 plants or so. As long as the pots...
Instead of using those white plastic plant labels i use plastic forks and just label the handle. I find these are much cheaper. Lets say about $1.00 for 100 forks in chinese stores. I have plently leftover.
Now that i remember i stole something from coles. I picked up a trolley and noticed a little ladybird. I picked her up and took her home with me just on my shoulder. So far she's happily sitting in my garden.
Was thinking of doing it today but it's raining and i am busy. Maybe tomorrow. They'll go in their little cups.
BTW red bhut has just popped out. I am throwing a party for my bhut today.
Update on the orange habanero.
And the new seedlings. So far the following has emerged.
Hungarian black
Cap 1492
Aji Lemon
Big Jim
Trinidad scorpion
Inchanga (hook emerged 15.01)
Peppadews
African Honey
and i have very high hopes for the red bhut. Root has emerged. I am super duper...
No not the white shelf. I don't use that one. I though i might have been able to but when i put the plastic on it got blocked so i just left it there. I mean the shelf underneath that.
Can someone explain the logic behind this. I have a 3 tier greenhouse. The top shelf is considerably warmer then the bottom shelf. I have moved my jiffy pellets to the top shelf and seeing a lot more germination.
Well they better be awesome looking because i hand pick every little aphid i see on the leaves even if i see only one and squash every tiny little caterpillar.
