It had fully developed seeds inside. I hope it’s not some kind of mold.

My son bought me this plant. And it grew fast. Has anyone grown this and what is the flavor profile?

I got this “cayenne” from a garden store. Every cayenne I’ve seen only looks way longer than the peppers on this plant do, but I’m gonna ignore that for now.

What are the main difference between orange and green?! The picture has them both orange and green so not sure what the diff is!

Edit: I can’t read the label!

I bought this Purple UFO plant on eBay and it arrived here in great shape. I transplanted it into this 5 gallon bucket with at least eight 1/2” holes drilled in the bottom for drainage and filled with Kelloggs Organic Patio Plus container mix. It was doing great, then out of nowhere it wilted like this. I feel like I’ve been watering enough and not overwatering, and this mix supposedly has fertilizer in it already and recommends not adding fertilizer the first month. What could be causing this? Also, is it salvageable or is it done for?

Hi folks! I grew this plant from seeds. It is *supposed* to be mini sweet bell pepper. But the upside down growing indicates to me that I maybe had some old #peppergate seeds in this packet. Anyone know what these actually are?? Thanks in advance!

Hi! I have 2 shishito pepper plants that I started from seeds and got into the ground about 6 wks ago. They're both about 3 ft tall and producing. My questions are - I'm in Tx zone 9a. At what temps will they need shade cloth? They don't seem bothered at all right now with low-mid 90s F, like my jalapeños do. Also, do they typically produce well through fall? They're loaded right now for such small plants.

No warning signs just dropped a ton of healthy leafs in one day. This is what happens when you eyeball your fertilizer and do it toooo often. Plus side I was able to get a bunch of habaneros but only a handful of Peach Ghost peppers.

Planted a bunch of cayenne and Thai chilli plants last year but all but one was riddled with aphids. This surviving plant had 4 flowers last year through the winter but I didn’t help pollinate it (oops) so they all dropped off. This year it is flowering non stop so I’m happy with that haha

Got plenty going this year

Thank y’all so much for the support and advice on my last post about my boyfriend’s cowhorn peppers. We are eventually going to try mixing them with our brother’s scotch bonnets in the future.

These pictures were peppers he harvested last night. I thought they looked great so I took pictures to share here.

Mildly amusing story for anyone who has time to read… We’ve had a heat advisory in Mississippi for the past few days. Recently my bf told the family that we could do whatever we wanted with harvesting the cayenne pepper plants because they haven’t been any bit hot the way that he had hoped (like a rogue one or two had been spicy regardless of color, but consistently super duper mild).

Last night, I asked to try the tip of one of his cayenne pepper’s first before he ate it (a safe but brave move in my mind haha). I hardly know a thing about spicy or hot peppers. I told him my bite wasn’t spicy hot at all, but as I chewed I told him that the taste had a hint of depth to it??? Like it may be hot… but I literally had no idea lol. I just knew my bite was not spicy hot.

My man eats habaneros as a side dish to his meals almost every night. I’ve seen him drink a little milk maybe one time over the years. A true hot pepper lover. Y’all that cayenne pepper sent my man speed walking to the bathroom sink drooling with red teary eyes for a couple minutes. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Have a great day fellow Pepper Lovers!

Happy Wednesday Pepperheads, it's gonna be a hot one today! Feed your plants and keep hydrated ❤️..

I think it is just a yellow varietal of cayenne, because it never ripens to fully red. But any other clues are helpful.

Things are looking good. Picking peppers at one location and pods forming at the other
