About a year and a half ago I gave my sister a plant of what I now refer to as an early "Red Bud" plant. when I gave it to her it was a happy little seedling in a small pot (that I use for seedlings) with a mix of soil and humus. about a week ago I noticed it when I was visiting. it looked dead. no leaves, all yellow and dry, in the same damn pot and she didn't even pick a lot of the pods. like that's not enough, it was on the outside and apparently it was at the same spot for the entire winter (protected from winds and basically nature, but in the cold). without any fertilizer added to it, re-potting and the fact she only watered it "occasionally" no wonder it looked like this:
I noticed bits of green, so I knew there was still hope. I came to the rescue and pulled the poor chile away from the mean sister. it was sad the find out even the roots are dry and dead. I wasn't exactly what's dead and what's still alive, so I didn't go all butcher on it.
This is the same plant now:
It buds like crazy and I have to pinch it daily.
So it lives! the end.
