This list is just wrong. Number 1 and 2 are not true. Each variety has their own temperature range that they want to get in. 95 to 65 f is good for my Christmas Bells but my Peru Yellow hates that range and won't set a pod. It wants temps in the low 50s. Instead of looking at your plants...

Do you have heavily alkiline water? And it has been hot lately?

I agree, some kind of aloe. There's a zillion types, I can't tell you what one yours is just from the picture.

Havana Seasoning. My weather destroyed them and never got a pod. I yanked out the one that never even bloomed and the one that bloomed but never set is on thin ice. It doesn't look like it is growing well and might soon find itself in the bin while a Shattah or something replaces it. Havana...

Gardening is one of the greatest hobbies--welcome to a hobby you can enjoy for the rest of your life! The bigger the pot, the bigger the plant...why not experiment?

If they've all popped, turn off the heat mat. Once they're going, the excess heat isn't doing anything for them and room temp is fine.

Those are some huge leaves! Really nice!

While it has been unseasonably warm for everyone else, it has been unseasonably cold for me. Nighttime lows 15f below normal so we're getting frosts. No damage to anything but nothing ripened this week. Ugh! I noticed that Malih-Helow is throwing several flowers/node on my largest plant...

Best Christmas tree ever!

"Fast growth..." Makes me wonder--have you given them lots of fertilizer? If they get too much, the react by growing very fast and large but suffer from blossom drop.

It's normally temp-related. Each type has its own goldilocks temp zone, generally somewhere between 55f at night and 95f during the day.

I look at it as about the same as a membership to the symphony or ballet. Public good that gets mostly public money that still charges for memberships & tickets.

Couldn't resist posting--Native Seeds' crop preservation effort, including their work preserving wild & native heirloom chiles, was part of the recognition of Tucson's importance for cuisine & food culture http://ediblebajaarizona.com/tucson-designated-unesco-world-city-of-gastronomy

My first seeding to pop this round was a tomato! Wonder if 2016 will be Year of Tomatoes for me. Also figured out my purple tomato plant is probably a Safari. Certainly looks like some tomatoes I remember buying a few months ago.

Thanks! Looking forward to eating them Quick update--we had a spell of normal weather for a few days so stuff had a chance to ripen. Back down to highs of 60s, lows of 30s (will be 40s in my garden) soon. Anyway, got my first Aleppo pepper! Really excited to try it. I think I'll let it...

Thanks! I'm hoping they taste as good as they look (should). I'm waiting until they ripen a bit more to dig in. Thank you very much for the seeds! They made it in good order.

What I described is the industry standard. It's a mix. Keep in mind that in the US, there's almost as many trees in the hands of hobby growers like me as there is in the hands of commercial growers. Citrus can reliably be grown from seed. Obviously, the seeds of a plant on a GMO rootstock...

Bhut-annuum cross? Look at the plant itself--you've only got a pod-per-node that I can see.

Some but not all. But they all can be. For instance, I've got a grapefruit on its own roots, but I could cut off a chunk and graft it onto a set of roots. Or, I could "bud out" and in the spot I cut a chunk off, graft on a branch from a different citrus (how you get citrus cocktail trees)...
