Are you sure that's black pearl?

: O

The leaves should be dark black, and the fruits are round - not oval and pointy like yours! Sometimes garden centres mislabel their plants.

conejov · 10-02-2009, 10:00 PM

Now that you mention it I dont know... I looked up the pearl and your right the fruits are rounder than this.

conejov · 10-02-2009, 10:04 PM

I looked it up now and I think its a Calico Pepper.

The Hollyberry Lady · 10-02-2009, 10:11 PM

Well, I am glad you figured it out. I knew it wasn't black pearl because of the fruits. I know the garden centres around here are terrible for mislabelling plants.

Just took this shot today of my Aurora plant. A couple of the peppers are biginning to change color, and more fruits are developing...

The Hollyberry Lady · 10-04-2009, 12:35 PM

From left to right, here is my carrot boat pot filled with three kinds of hot pepper seedlings...

Purple Pepper...Numex Twilight...Purple Tiger...

The Hollyberry Lady · 10-04-2009, 01:57 PM

Also, my African heirloom hot pepper seedling/plant, with green and white leaves.

Although you can see some white on the leaves, it becomes more pronounced as the plant matures. This is one exceptionally ornamental plant as well, the older it gets.

The fruits are medium-hot, and great in salsa. The plant has a real Christmas look to it when it is mature with red ripening fruit.

The green and white leaves and the red fruits, remind you of the candy cane colors of Christmas...

Hey alex, How did you plant the Jolokia's. Just in a cup or are you using a heat mat. I still have about 5 seeds left. I tried to plant them last spring but none of them came up. I just don't want to waste them again..I don't have a mat or anything so I need advice.

The Hollyberry Lady · 10-05-2009, 09:12 AM

I know you asked Alex, but I sowed my Bhut Jolokia seeds without my heat mat, and they came up in less than two weeks!

Most of my pepper seeds are sown using my heat mat though, so I am sure it isn't going to hurt if you use it. I was told that Jolokia takes a long time to sprout, but mine seemed to come up just the same as the rest.

I sent some to Bob too, and they came up easily for him as well, but I think he used a heat mat.

Good luck with yours.

The Hollyberry Lady · 10-05-2009, 09:51 AM

Here are some more of my hot pepper seedlings and plants:

Black Cuban...

Black Pearl...

Fire Cracker...

Explosive Blast and Little Blue Pot in middle...

: )

conejov · 10-05-2009, 10:43 AM

I sowed mine in a little pot that I put inside of a clear take out container, its like a mini green house and it looks like its germinated, I saw something cream colored in the pot. Illl look again today.

I havent had any issues previously using this method. But then again I am pretty new to this so I might just be prolonging it.

The Hollyberry Lady · 10-05-2009, 10:55 AM

Your mini-greenhouse, sounds great! Pepper seeds will sprout wonderfully using this method - even without a heat mat.

: )

Dalmatiansoap · 10-05-2009, 01:35 PM

Hey ya papper lovers anybody has some free seeds for donation?

There is maybe new addiction on sight

The Hollyberry Lady · 10-05-2009, 02:13 PM

If you mail me the postage, I will send you some wonderful pepper seeds...

: )

conejov · 10-05-2009, 04:12 PM

OK, Finally I got a Actual Black pearl Ill post a pic soon. Its and actual black pearl I stood at the nursery comparing the pictures ha... Yes silly I know but.. I had to make sure.

The Hollyberry Lady · 10-05-2009, 04:55 PM

You could always ask me for some seeds if it turns out to be a fake! Hope it's the real deal though...

: )

sandy0225 · 10-06-2009, 06:29 AM

I put a recipe for all of you on the "other recipes" thread.

conejov · 10-06-2009, 12:32 PM

Here they are, the black pearl pictures.

Bob · 10-06-2009, 03:15 PM

Hollyberry...........why does it just figure that you would own a carrot boat pot?

Stump, mine were germinated on a heat mat and I had no trouble at all with them. A warm spot like on top of a fridge or some other heat producing appliance should work as well.

planetrj · 10-06-2009, 03:34 PM

If anyone's looking for hot pepper seeds (non ornamental), I'm going to post what I have on the classifieds. I've got Scotch Bonnet, Chile De Arbol, Sandia & Big Jim (2 cv's from New Mexico - the best for authentic New Mexican cooking), Ancho, and California Chile. I think that's all. I'm only going to sell these to members for a minimum price as a courtesy, so please be respectful of this and don't ask for 10 packets of each to resell on ebay. lol!
