misc Growing chillies hanging upside-down ?

[Englander]

Hi Guy's

There's loads of videos on you tube showing peppers, tomatoes growing up side down from a large inverted bottle's.

Anyone tried it ?

I'm short on room in my greenhouse however the roof area is "spare"

I have some Raj's Wiri Wiri from seaspring seeds a tiny round wild Habenero type I believe ..........

I'm toying with trying the inverted hanging bottle ??? With the Wiri wiri .........any thoughts ?? Or imput most welcome.

It seems like the Topsy Turvy is a big hit in the tomato community and it got me thinking about using something similar for peppers. Plants are plants right?

Instead of purchasing the product, I was thinking about making my own. Check out the second link, it's a 5 gallon bucket and lid. About $3.50 expense at Home Depot.

If tomatoes can be grown upside-down, why not

I think there's some:
"space peppers" from outer space, that wouldn't mind the change in gravity

Aji Lemondrop or Aji Limon will grow in vines below the container. Not planted upside down but in a hanging basket. In my experience they grow well in cooler temperatures and wilt in hot/dry.

@Englander, Reggie (@WarrantMan) has been playing around with growing peppers upside down for several years. Not in a bottle, but in a five gallon bucket. Same principle, it seems to me. Here are a few posts of his efforts, including a video. Just an fyi.

Edmick,
 
Not to hi-jack your thread, but since you're into oddities, I thought I'd share this here. It is a Moruga I'm growing upside down as an experiment. Did tomatoes like this a few years back and they did awesome. So far seems healthy but no blooms yet...
