    seeds Germination Greenhouse on a Shoestring Budget

    Habaneros and unknown-moderate-red-fruit chiles - guilt-trip project of 2016

      79 is a bit low for germination and will probably make them germinate slow -- Personally I'd place them on top of the fridge as that will provide a bit more heat for them from the bottom.

    cloning cloning pepper plants

      I find it easier to cut the 45 degree angle after making the initial cut from the plant - that way you can place the cutting onto a counter or cutting board and cut the 45 degree angle on the board rather than trying to cut while the branch is on the plant and moving easily. ( also be sure to...

    Leafless habanero - emergency care advice, please?

      This - figure getting it out of the old soil and rinsing all of that off will also give you a chance to see if some of the roots are still healthy or if they are rotted - if some are rotten but others seem OK you could trim off the rotted roots and repot since you are also cutting off most of...

    plant I.D. Bonnie habanero plant

    According to Bonnie's it is not a mis-label but a hybrid habanero they are now selling and they do not list hybrids they only label by general breed (ie. all varieties of Habaneros are sold merely as "Habanero" whether they are the original habanero or the hybrid "Spartacus habanero"  even...

    seeds Germination Greenhouse on a Shoestring Budget

    Keep the egg shells also and use them as a starting cup - crack the eggs near the top and keep the rest in one piece and fill with soil and place the seeds in them - doing this saves buying starter pots and when transplanting you just crack the shell up and leave it in the soil in the new pot or...

      They do make a good stir fry - they are good after they turn red also (if you can leave any on the plant that long !)

    seeds Saving seeds

      I do the same -- or place on an old window screen to dry as it allows airflow on both sides so they dry quickly - Slower drying will not hurt anything but does allow a bit more time for mold spores to develop which could be a problem if you place in a plastic baggie before they completely dry.

    HELP!

      Also IIRC you need to remember to enlarge the image (click on + sign) first if it is being shown at a smaller than full size before the copy image step - otherwise you'll just get the smaller size image copied and pasted rather than full size.
