Just wondering if anyone can help? I have a smallish yard and many different types of chillies. Apart from scaling down plant numbers, has anyone got any suggestions in regard to how I can prevent them from cross pollinating?
I'm using teabags, works fine! Just make sure you cover the bud while it's still closed. Leave the string you attached it with on the plant so you can tell which peppers bear true to origin seeds.
There's also a method using liquid latex, but I haven't tried that yet.
Buy some tulle to cover your plants(or just flowers) or try the glue technique or if they are in pots you can bring 1 in the house till pods appear. I usually use early pods too for seeds since there are basically no bees around here early summer.
