Oh and a gratuitous Fatalii shot just hanging out.....Change color dammit!! I'mma HUNGrry
my day off i spend alot of time with plants
A lil off topic cloning action goin on today too.
I took a clipping from my girlfriends aunts vanilla bean orchid, just put in some orchid mix today with some rooting gel on it for help with rooting.
and i also took a cutting hoping to clone my Nepenthes Ventrata(Tropical Pitcher Plant).
going to keep it inside for a week or two. then out side she goes and might try and raise em up nice and sell em. maybe try some different and rare species. sorry for being off the hot pepper topics but this is part of my grow log.

and then put into this pot and hopefully i will get some root action
weed or something better?
Guajillo tastes great and are not hot. One of my favorites when fresh. I got a small bag of dried pods at a local hispanic food store whose seeds all germinated. I grew one plant out that gave a couple pods that made me freak out when I tasted them. They were very sweet, and I personally couldn't taste any hotness.
No problem showing other kinds of plants. It shows you are a more rounded plant person.

Thanx for info on Guajillo ABM

Oh yeah Some of the flower stems are turning almost white on some of my plants is this due to the cold weather? are there any signs that i should be looking for that my plants are not going to make it through the winter?
My plants can't set pods when it's this cold out even though they'll flower. Keep your plants close to your house especially the south side and they'll get enough warmth to make it through florida freezes. But the best advice is to cover them or bring them inside to play it safe. Burnt growth tips or leaves are signs of cold damage and depending on extent of damage they may or may not make it. I've got several plants outside far from the house as an experiment so we'll see if they make it by next week. Good luck nate.
where abouts in fla are you at thachili? a woman i work with told me that if you poured water on roots and it freezes the roots this is a good thing will protect it somehow. I am definately not doing that unless someone has had success even then i still don't want to be freezing the root tip hairs, maybe be frost the tips
jK
jKNo the extra water in the pots actually keeps the plant from freezing as quickly.
Cool!
Soo Temps have been getting to 30 degrees F.
I was told by a locla pepper grower such as myself not to wrry abou tthe freezing temps but I wasn't sure if i could believe this guy he kind of a drunk and asks for money for growing advice seems like a real douche.
anyways Ms Noshow really wanted to cover the plants and move them to the side of the house for protection she seems more worried about th eplants than i did which is a good thing
so we covered them all in some bed sheets as is.

Ok now the next morning when i woke to a very disturbing surprise.
A cat must have jumped on the top of this (has to be a cat my neighbor has literally 30!)
and landed right on my BHut Jolokia! as well as some others but the others were still salvageable.
not this one.
Soo I was forced to do some quick acting cloning action on my bhut plant unfortunately i have to pick all flowers and pods off makes cloning hard on the plant.
I hope the cloning goes well!
I am soo bummed this plant was just finally starting to set fruit tooo!
Well You Live and Learn i guess and i have been learning alot!

Fatalii recommends cutting the lower leaves in half.
