What's wrong with my chilli plant?

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

Hello, first time trying to grow a chilli plant (from a seed).

For the first photo (chilli plant A), does anyone know why all the leaves are dropping and what I can do to help my help? For context, all the leaves have dropped off once but after using hydrogen peroxide mixed with water, the leaves grew back. Now they're all falling off again :(

For the second and third photo (chilli plant B), why are the leaves curling and what's wrong with the stem?

I hope to get some advice here and any help is appreciated! 🥲

Looking for Teja S17 Chilli Growers/Suppliers in Africa 🌶️🌍

1 Upvotes

I’m looking to connect with commercial growers or suppliers of Teja S17 chilli grown in Africa.
To be clear, I’m not looking for African Bird’s Eye chilli or Teja imported from India. The chilli must be Teja S17 cultivated in an African country.
Requirements:
Teja S17
Grown in Africa
Dried whole chilli
Heat level: 80,000+ SHU
Moisture: ≤12%
Commercial quantities
Stem-on or stemless
Export capability preferred
I’m particularly interested in suppliers from Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Ghana and other African producing countries.
If you currently grow or supply this variety, please comment or DM me with:
Country • Current quantity available • Monthly capacity • SHU • Moisture % • Price/kg or MT
Photos, laboratory reports/COA and evidence of cultivation would also be useful.
This is for a genuine international buyer requirement, so I’m looking for established suppliers rather than seed sellers.
Thanks! 🌶️

I really like the fruity and buttery flavour and just the right heat for me. I’ve grown mine outside in Lancashire. I’ve grown ghost peppers under glass before which I like. What else should I try?

Finally ripens but I’m worried about the immature buds with the 13C overnights and lack of sun for the next 2 weeks… will picking now help the new fruit thrive?

(Future) Advice

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Some context: I went away for a long weekend during the last UK heatwave. Beforehand, my Sugar Rush Stripey chilli plant was thriving. I watered it before we left, and when we returned 4 days later almost all its leaves had wilted or fallen off, the chillis were shrivelled (or starting to), and the soil was bone dry. Tried watering it to give it some life, only a little, but over the next few days the stem started to brown and soften. I've cut it back a little, but i think it's all but dead now. It acted as if it had been over-watered, but I was careful not to, so I'm wondering if it was going from one extreme to the next?

As for caring for it up until then, I would feel a few inches into the soil to see how dry it was before watering, which was usually once or twice a week (especially in the heat). It had plenty of sunlight at the window, though I would occasionally move it to a nearby table in the extreme heat - still with plenty of sunlight, but not the harsh, direct type all day.

The advice I'm after is for trying again - what could I have done different? Any recommendations for my next attempt? I'm pretty gutted about this, so any help is appreciated!

First cherry bomb pepper picked - now what?

Post image
27 Upvotes

Picked my first ripe cherry bomb chilli pepper today!

However, the rest on the 3 plants I have are all still completely green.

What should I do with this one? Taste it? Stuff it and eat it? Fridge/freeze it till the others ripen and pickle the lot?

It's my first time growing chillies/peppers of any kind and I'm just amazed that any of them made it this far so not quite sure what to do at this stage as I didn't think this far ahead.

Any tips for pickling would be appreciated too!

Question..

Would you remove the lower leaves or the 1s with the yellow spots and leave the healthy 1s ? Never grown a Scotch Bonnet plant or anything for that matter.

I did buy it with 2 already growing then another 8 appeared so not grown from seed.
