chillis

Hi was wondering what experience if any anyone might have had with chilli seeds???

 

We grew some last year in a plastic greenhouse and they were fine. That is very little help I know, other than to say if I can do it it must be easy!

 

hi i grow some scotch bonnet last season from seed i got from work. Great in the kitchen or the patio in summer.Very easy to grow and look great in with bedding plants.

 

these are Cayenne peppers.theyve been the same size since i potted them on,(i think just over a week)and since its my first attempt im not sure how they should be looking.

 

these are Ace F1,i have 3. was given them,6, from a man covered in greenfly(not the man, the peppers) i got rid of the greenfly and potted them on and they look to be doing alot better than my effort,

 

We grew some plants we bought from a chilli specialist last year and kept some seed but none came up :( We bought some more seeds and they have ALL come up so we have a greenhouse full! This is hubbys(only)domain in the garden LOL! Id say our plants are about the same size but I havent potted them on yet

 

I grow chilli's every year in the greenhouse, it's too cold here to plant them outside. I buy my seeds from www.chillifire.co.uk and have no problems with them, very good site have a look.My chilli seeds are about the same size as elainefiz but I have not potted them on yet I like to leave them until they look strong enough, they don't like to be moved with little roots.Sorry I seem to have gone on a bit, but I just love growing and using chilli's :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

 

I was given two "fuego" chilli plants two years ago and had loads of chillis from them. I dry some seed each year now and grow from them. They are about 12ins high with buds developing and are ready for repotting as they are only in 5in pots at present. They really are easy plants to grow but require some early warmth to get going and do best under cover.

 

my chilli is growing in the downstairs toilet, if this works you may see a pic !!

 

Considering the position and limited light I imagine it gets its doing exceptionally well as it has buds on it. Not long before the chillis will be forming but I think it would benefit from a lighter position. I spray mine with water each day to help set the fruit(veg) and a tomorite type of potash feed weekly.

 

i open up the blind during the day, so it is getting quite a lot of light. not sure why the blind was down in the picture, i have to put it up to open the window. thanks for the feeding tip. wasnt sure when i would see any chillis, so thanks for replying.

 

Hello all. Iveonlygotpots, for a moment I thought that you were actually growing your chillis IN THE TOILET, physically, literally! Glad to see it's actually on the windowsill!

I grow piri-piri variety of chilli and like you, Marge, I end up with all of the seeds germinating.

They are easy to grow and require little attention, just sun and a fair amount of water. They're certainly thirsty little chappies here and like to be kept moist.

Good luck Gardeners-Advice and hope your life is soon spiced up!

 

Lady of leisure ... I must check my wording next time ... lol !!!

 

I have 3 chillis and 2 pepper growing and they have been fairly small for some time now. With the good weather we have had lately I have put them in the garden and they 'seem' to be surviving.

My question is, what temperatures can they take?

We have a conservatory which is guaranteed to give them warmth but at most times of year the temperature goes way over 50 C (according to a thermometer in the conservatory) The Christmas Cacti, and Hybiscus we have seem to thrive in that heat. But would the peppers and chillis?
