Hi, I'm Michael, I live in Penang, Malaysia. This is my grow log. Everything started with a pepper plant I bought. I don't know much about it, except that it's a chinense from what people told me. Seeing as how that plant has been growing well, I went out and bought a packet of birds eye chilli or cili padi as they call it here. Not knowing any better, I dumped all the contents out into the soil. Well, needless to say, I have alot of small plants right now with true leaves. I have also managed to germinate and sprout some seeds of the unknown Chinense.

Cili Padi/bird's eye chilli on 13th June
Transplanted Cili Padi on 15th June
Undetermined Chinense 15th June [has been with me for a month, bought as a matured plant with woody stem and pods]
First pod growth with me. A few others are starting to pod up as well. Quite a number of flower drops though. About 3-5 per day. Not very worried as there are plenty more buds coming up.
Some deformation of new growth, thinking maybe calcium deficiency or over watering. No aphids around. Ideas?
Seedling of unknown Chinense
Anyway, these two types of chillies are the ones I have right now. Most probably will be giving most of the birds eye away as I don't have ground to put them in. Just having a go at gardening. Will expand with other varieties if I do come across them.
