Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

Awsome! They are going to be pretty with some color...
More Orange Pods, one almost ripe...
One of my Orange Hab seedlings suprised me when I was checking it out this morning, this sexy looking pod popped out of nowhere and as you can tell, it's long and bumpy meaning it's going to get pretty big!
One of my west indies habs has a fused stem!

Coming along nicely!
Very nice. I can't wait until my Reds start turning. They're so beautiful... and look so harmless!

I had a few bushes produce some berry sized Caribbean Reds and the other day I popped a "pea" sized one into my mouth and the second my teeth sinked into it, I was feeling the burn, and the great flavor too a bit grassy probably because it's a tiny pod.
A few minutes later the full burn was in effect, I can only imagine what a full sized two inch long one inch wide pod would be like to chew on whole!
Heres a plate of the berry sized and some larger ones I removed early to get the plant producing again.
Looks good. I didn't realize they would turn that small. My biggest pods are probably right in between the smallest and largest of yours, but no signs of turning yet.
I've never grown these before... how long does it take for them to get to 2 inches and turn once they are around an inch? We've been in triple digit heat the last couple of days with lots of sun, so I'm hoping that speeds them up.

If they are bumpy or rugged looking, they are still growing... Once they get smooth and shiny they are pretty much full size.
Mine will get full size pretty quick, a week or so from the time they first set. After they reach full size, they take a long time to ripen, at least a week, but mostly two weeks or more.
Thats the only downside of Habaneros are the long-ass ripening times.
Nice pod pics Richard.
Very, very nice pods! I'm amazed that you are already getting rip pods because you are even farther north than me 
I hope that isn't a sign of things to come for me cause all of my Habs are still really small.

Had several fused stems last year - bell and jalapeno plants - but this year only one that I recall seeing. I never could figure out why they do that. Or why sometimes they have 2 branches from the first node and sometimes 3. Go figure.
I'm kind of disappointed my "caribbean reds" turned out to be red but not caribbean. Those look awesome.
