Yes, from the tropical lowlands. Half year dry and half year thunderstorms. Warm winter (28-30ºC), hottest period in early May (35-38ºC).

Wow, the climate where you live is tropical, I never imagined it was so hot there in Mexico...
Have you managed to successfully grow C. pubescens there?
I ask, because here in Brazil I've never been able to... I believe it's too hot for the species!

 

[Alex_K]

C. rhomboideum

This is a variety that I am very interested in growing

Murasaki Pepper

Dark purple cotyledons

They grow a lot of manzano (local name for rocoto) locally, but only in the highlands. The relative humidity is lower than in the lowlands, as are the temperatures at night. I haven't tried rocoto yet, but it's on my list. I'll tell you next year

Good to see all those plants growing well in the Southern Hemisphere as mine are gradually finishing here, at least outdoors.

Nah! My plants is just OK, because they are in small containers hope to get some peppers to make hot sauce!

At least it has a good amount of heat should be good for sauces.
