Hello everyone. As you can see I am new to the forum. I mentioned in my hello post that I have been stalking here for a while but I have some questions that really motivated me to join. So here is the quick back story.
I just started growing this season and it started simply enough with a 6 pack of cherry bomb peppers from the local feed store. Then a some sweet bananas then some cayennes, jalapenos, and anaheims from seed, then some more less common ornamentals from seed then an aji dulce.... you all have experienced this and know. Well anyway being my first season I have made lots of mistakes but I think im on a solid path now and thanks to our huge growing season I think it will be ok.
Now to the point. I wanted to grow tepins and was supposed to get some seeds 2 months back but never did so I was bummed. Then, yesterday at the farmers market I found a lady selling tepins ~3' tall and loaded with flowers and pods for $2 each. So I got two. Is this a score or did I just really want these?
Second, one of the Tepins looks like two plants fused right at the soil line as it has two main shoots each leading to a main fork. Is this a fused plant or something else? Any special instructions if it is?
Lastly, any special tips or tricks for growing healthy productive tepins? one is in a 10 gallon smart pot and one is in a 5 gal landscaping pot.
Thanks and sorry for the long post.
