Mine are looking quite different than the ones I see online is this forsure a small Carolina reaper, or could it be an accidental cross? they have a lot of heat and I’ve eaten four, all of which have gone horribly except the mini one today.
I got a Trinidad scorpion and a Carolina reaper pepper. I have treated them the exact same, same fertilizer amount, 5L pail with holes, same watering, and same sun (out in sun all day), but the scorpion pepper keeps losing flowers and leaves. The only differences between them is that I bought the scorpion pepper at the garden center with most of the leaves cut off the stem, and it has a moisture potting mix instead of a regular one. Is there any way to stop this from happening?
