I have noticed that several of my pepper plants are much larger than some of the others and was wondering why...I think I finally figured it out...I have approximately 15-20 Trinidad Scorpions growing and some are stunted and the leaves are very yellow looking...almost a varigated look to them...
My largest scorpion plant is about 4' tall and very sturdy, dark green and full of buds/flowers and is setting fruit....I went to move it yesterday and guess what....the roots of the plant have grown out of the container and into the soil beneath it. It was hard to move but I pulled on it until I heard some snapping and I could feel the roots breaking...too late, I moved it and looked at the bottom of the pot....there were 6 or 7 roots that had grwon out of the holes in the bottom of the container and were about 6" long where they broke...the roots coming out of the bottom of the pot were about an eight of an inch in diameter...This plant has not been moved in 4 months...
I won't move any of my other big plants in this area...the area where these healthy plants are is the wettest part of my yard...
Any one else have roots growing out of the bottom of their containers?
