So I guess you cut a branch and use rooting powder to get it to root?

Do you trade them after they have established good roots? That does sound like a huge time saver.
 
most of my houseplants are from cuttings, just cut, dump in water, wait. rooting hormone (i like the gel) really speeds things up tho, plus i make a few shallow cuts along the stem near the bottom but most of those plants are thicker stemmed then the peppers will be.
 
I hate to be rash, but I'm sold!!! In that case cuttings are 100x better than seeds, as long as they survive.

So basically you start seeds way early and then take cuttings? That is great! a reason to start seeds earlier!

In that case I will get some going.

AJI CRIOLLA SELLA
Species: Baccatum
Origin: Bolivia
Heat:Hot

An Aji type, this medium sized 24in plants produces 2-3" fruits that ripen from light green to golden yellow approximately 100 days after transplanting. The peppers are quite pungent and have lemony overtones. A very nice variety.

I did a bunch of cuttings last season. The plants were smaller than the parent plant, but to be fair i put them in the ground later in the season. It really is a good way to eliminate days to get ripe fruits.

I like the idea of trying to grow a plant from seed very early to get a large enough plant to take cuttings from. I believe this "logic" is more geared towards those people growing under high powered lights instead of fluorescents.

Maybe I'm wrong?

Last year my cuttings ended up just as big as seed plants with pods just as big. You don't need high powered light for mother plants but it seems best to take cuttings from a plant that is in a good growth cycle.
 
If one takes a cutting from a plant in fall (probably a newer shoot) and plants it, does it go dormant in winter or have like a 130 day period that it will grow - presuming indoor conditions are favorable?

it would essentially be the equivalent of a six week old plant you grew from seed, could a six week old plant even handle going dormant? don't they need some stored energy for that? (i don't know much about dormancy, i would take my hab in and just let it stay not dormant, thus getting peppers all winter long)

the benefit of cuttings for pepper growing that i can see is that you just keep one plant alive over winter (or one of each variety), then you take cuttings in the spring and suddenly have many plants that you didn't have to care for for the last two months. they aren't going to be different from any other young plant tho. for me my season is so short that i'd have to take care of the cuttings inside for an extra month at least so they'd be big enough to give me peppers by september (you can't really take big cuttings) so its not that big of a difference to me (plus i like fussing over my baby plants) but its great for making gifts of plants.

willard do you bother with any of the cloning solutions or gels?

This time round in my aerocloner Ive not used any gels etc. just plain water & superthrive Phd to 6.3. Ive got nice roots forming up around 3 inches long with finer hairs forming its day 20.
 
Plant and cutting update

The Bhuts, Fatails and Peach Habs are doing great.
3 of the hab plants are from the one larger one including the cutting.
I will put the cutting on Ebay along with some Pepper seeds to make sure it is worthwhile.
Please only positive easy going bidders as we will document the survival and packaging of the cutting.

Copy of auction description:
Included in this auction:
More than 10 Cherry Hot Pepper seeds purchasing going into this winter.

At least 6 Fish Pepper seeds.

Bonus: TA16 Burley Tobacco and TA02 Jasmine Tobacco
The tobacco seeds are older

One Peach Habanaro cutting in rockwool cube.
This is a first time experiment for us to try from thehotpepper.com
If you want to talk pepper cuttings or ask about this cutting see:

To ship my current plan is to fold a ziploc bag and cut the corners so it has a small amount of ventilation. A small amount of hydrogen peroxide with water will give the roots oxygen during the travel.

If freezing is an issue we may be able to get by this with those oxygen activated hand warming packs. With a small air hole to the pack it should give off heat at a lower rate insuring safe delivery.

This peach habanaro is awesome! See photos of it at the link above.
I had it by a window this winter and got a few small habs from it for super tasty salsa.

What is neat about the cutting is you do not have to wait for it to start producing pepeprs. It already has one on it! Bid and let us know how she grows!

NOTE: Only bid if you are positive and a cool person. Only if you are more into advancing science and have a passion for peppers. This is part of a passionate collective for hot pepper cuttings and seeds. You must leave positive feedback for my efforts and good ethics with you entirely in mind!
As soon as you pay I will give you positive feedback. Even if the pepper looks like cooked spinach you must be happy and work your mind to shipping them safer and join our group.

Thanks!
