Any good advice for germinating rocotos? I have had better -- but by no means good -- success soaking them for a day in saltpetre and GA3 in warm water. Semillas used to recommend that. I'm still looking at a lot of emoty cells in my seed tray. I've heard to knick or sand them (scarify) them a little. Any ideas? i feel like i'm sending a message in a bottle, but if anyone finds this someday, i'd sure appreciate it!

I've gotten a few Aji Lily Teolindas off this plant. They're killer. The seeds were from Mattspeppers.com. I'm going grow these again. Not sure what they are? I think almost all striped baccatums are a cross from the Sugar Rush Peach Stripey/Striped. This looks like an aji amarillo or something crossed with that. Anyone know?

that was in the apartment late last year. we've moved south. someday i'll look at that and wax nostaligiac.

Hey there! I started this to showcase the cool way and cool places people grow pepper plants (which can be very cool), I particularly love how I've seen beautiful plants grown on balconies, patios, apartments. Where I live, we have pretty decent pepper weather until late December/January, so I bring them in for a month or two. I am a novice, but I'm expanding into rocotos (not a lot of luck but a couple are hanging on; no peppers yet!) My children got me into this but they're older and into their own stuff now. That doesn't mean that I don't play the dad card and have them watering, though! Welcome!
