Hi Guy's
I'm planning on over wintering a number of late sown varieties all of which are in pots of compost. Along with a couple Rocotos for the first time.
However I have a rather nice Chocolate scotch bonnet but it was in a 20 kratky I have transferred mini kratky too soil with great success but never anything as big as this that has such a large root sytsem.
Chocolate scotch bonnet about 1 year old now what a trunk !
A very low "Y" and a open spreading nature it had done very well in 20 litre kratky in my greenhouse, now cut back ready for an over wintering attempt..................
Root sytsem in 20 litre kratky
Brutal root pruning
Repotted in 2 litres of compost lot's of perlite and a teaspoon or two of blood and bone meal.........
Now we wait and see if it's going to live .....................I hope so I'm quietly confident, plant's never fail to impress me with the amount of damage and abuse they can withstand !
