r/chilli

Hi guys pics included, I have a feeling its just a salad pepper but it could be different. Really healthy plant aswell. Dont want to pick them too early.

Hello all, So my chillis photos have all had reasonably similar levels of sun exposure and water. For some reason my calabrian has started wilting and now a habanero plant too.

Any ideas? They spent probably 5 months in doors previously in a server room with a lot of sun but one wilted and died there too.

I was given a random assortment of seeds but can't work out what type of chilli this is, I'm leaning towards Buena Mulata but this is my first dip in the chilli world past buying them in supermarkets

Just wanted to show you my special chili pepper 🥰 Some kind of descendant of a Purple Tiger, but with thin pods. I thought they were soooo beautiful—and practical, too 🤩

They aren’t harm for my boy right?😭

It’s strange how relationships work.

I’ve never grown anything in my life, I thought I had death fingers, not green fingers. But my partner (well, that bits coming) loves houseplants and growing tomatoes etc so on our first real summer together she wanted to grow some things in the garden to which I of course joined along with and tried to grow some chillies, which I love.

Long story short, she’s now not living here as, well, if you’re going to promise M+S don’t deliver Temu.

It’s taken 2 and a half months for her to finally collect her things. The house feels like my own again and I’m getting back to me.

But one thing I will thank her for is my discovery that I love and actually can grow chillies it seems.

So much so I’m getting a greenhouse built in a couple of weeks.

It’s been a great little community to get advice from too. So thank you to you all.

Hi everyone!

I am quite new to gardening and this year I started with a very young chilli plant (Apache to be precise :)). I moved to this container in early May and I think it has so far settled quite nice, there are quite a few flowers and so much more flower buds to come. The problem is that the flowers keep falling down without the fruit settling. It has been outdoor and it is quite windy every now and then and I thought that should be enough for pollination, but apparently I was wrong. I also helped pollination with a fine brush and shake by an electric toothbrush with no luck! also in several occasion the stem of the flower stays and kind of dries out (see the last picture)

I am in Norway but the weather in past few weeks were quite warm most of night 14+ celsius with days around 20-25C. The setup is a self-watering container with 20L soil reservoir and 6L water (It is shared with Parsley and thai basil)

Any help would be much appreciated, honestly, I am running out options here.

Hi guys, I grew this chilli plant from a random seed last year (overwintered and has come back well)

It produced a few small chillis last year as seen again in this years photo above. They were late so I picked them whilst still white/yellow

They did ripen whilst off the plant to red. They were pretty hot iirc - scotch bonnet or hotter maybe 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Just wondering if anyone has any idea what variety I might be looking at?

Thanks

looks great but has dropped it first couple of chilli’s unfortunately. Hopefully it’ll decide to keep the others.

I have these padron peppers that I grow in Sweden in zone 2 and they seem healthy, but they started throwing lot of buds, before or after flowering. I didn’t get any padron pepper yet. What could be the problem? They are in raised garden bed and I fertilise them with tomatoe fertiliser once 2 weeks

Any advice is appreciated, already lost like 5-6 padrons 🥲🥲

3 Ring of Fire, 2 Habaneros & 2 Serranos 🔥

🌱 Keep calm and carry on gardening... even better, teach your kids how to do it!

Nothing beats watching little hands dig in the dirt, plant seeds, and light up when those first sprouts pop up.

Gardening with kids isn’t just about veggies. it’s patience, science, responsibility, and joy all in one.

Super healthy plants, with lots of flowers and pods. Loads more since I took these shots last week. They are loving the summer here in the UK.

I read that you dont have to top chillis somewhere on the internet.

I tried on one of my habanero plants and it will give so much more harvest than all of my other habanero plant combined…

Had the chilli plant a few months, water it very regularly as it’s needy and has grown soooo quickly - already bearing fruit! Lives next to the window getting regular sunlight.

Is it bugs, fungus or a deficiency of some kind? Magnesium maybe?
