First peppers EVER! Well, first super hot peppers since I recently re-discovered how much I love hot sauce, hot peppers and spicy things and became completely obsessed with them.
These are Naga Morich plants I bought as starter plants from Hirt's Gardens.
I'm growing one indoors at work next to my desk under a crane desk lamp with a CFL on a timer and one outside the back door au naturale.
Here's my outdoor. The white stuff is bone meal, which I added because the leaves seemed to be getting kind of crinkly and it had been suggested to me that my pepper was calcium deficient. That plus I like the idea of adding the bones of dead animals to feed my super hot pepper.
Here's my indoor plant, which has leaves that are curling up slightly because (I think) of my bout with aphids last week. I finally killed all the aphids off on Friday and it was pest free over the weekend. I used a solution of water, dish soap and the soaking juice from a discarded cigarette butt I found outside the building as a spray for the plant. It took about three days and the aphids were gone.
My outdoor plant seems to have more new growth than my indoor. My indoor seems a lot greener and more lush than my outdoor. Both were presumably from the same batch of seeds at the nursery and arrived looking identical. I've been growing them for about a month now. Here's hoping I get fruit!
