Is the leaves of Chocolate Habanero supposed to be that big ?

(and my hand is 20% bigger than yours )

its 4" by 6" !!

Damn, are you sure you are not growing a caladium?

 

[ZenPepper]

big leaves usually means not enough light right?

 

[OROZCONLECHE]

Yea My New Super Hots have leaves even bigger than That, Depending How Big your Hand is, I thought it was Because it was Healthy

Thats a good size for shaded or inside plants You need to start getting worried when they get over 8-10 inches

 

[dani8538]

Good to know its fine, i hope its a real habanero and not bell peppers

Lately they getting direct sun all day long

 

[Dave2000]

It's a sign they are getting enough light so the plant continues to make the leaves bigger instead of as much energy put into growing the plant higher for another set of new leaves. Usually it is the earlier leaves that get this big initially while it takes a while for later ones to do so. Definitely a chinense, possibly a habanero, definitely not a bell.

 

[millworkman]

Those are the leaves of a Chinense, so it is not a bell. The leaves that I posted belonged to a Chocolate Habanero and a Brain Strain respectively.

I agree not a C. Annum, its C. Chinense. My morugas have the same size leaves.

Your hand is 4x6? Haha I noticed my chocolate habs have way bigger leaves than any other of my varieties. That plant looks to be maybe 3 months old. Younger plants and lower leaf sets will be big like that.

My TS plants had huge leaves like that, and I trimmed most of them. I didnt want my plant focused on growing huge leaves, I wanted it to grow tall and produce pods. Just my 2 cents!

 

[Arenal Botanical Garden]

Give it more shade.

Mine too. Gigantic leaves, but the plants are half the size of the others.
