Re: A thread for hot pepper-a-holics...
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. : ) |

Re: A thread for hot pepper-a-holics...
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.

Re: A thread for hot pepper-a-holics...
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... : ) |

Re: A thread for hot pepper-a-holics...
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.

Re: A thread for hot pepper-a-holics...
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. : ) |

Re: A thread for hot pepper-a-holics...
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. |

Re: A thread for hot pepper-a-holics...
Your mini-greenhouse, sounds great! Pepper seeds will sprout wonderfully using this method - even without a heat mat.

Re: A thread for hot pepper-a-holics...
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. |

Re: A thread for hot pepper-a-holics...
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!
