With 29 fruit it is probably Orinoco. There is no set amount of time they have to stay on the plant.The amount of time they take to mature depends on the climate . The warmer it is the faster they mature.Try and leave them on until you see some yellow then you can cut and hang the bunch and let them finish to ripen indoors.
