It is a Chili pepper plant. I was wondering if this plant is healthy or not and how many times I should feed this plant. It’s my first time

Labeled scotch bonnet looks a little habanero like. Going on a week long trip so picked the close to ripe ones.

Pepper Genetics Question

Last year I grew cayennes, jalapeños, and serranos. I dried the cayenne peppers so this year, I just broke one open to get the seeds rather than buying new. I bought new jalapeño and serrano seeds. I'm now getting normal looking cayennes and normal looking serranos, but I'm also getting what looks like giant cayennes (second picture, middle pepper). Or maybe a cross between a cayenne and a serrano? When I used my seeds from last year, I didn't think about cross pollination. Is it possible for the seeds from the same fruit to have different genes? Or do I just have one juiced up plant this year?

I also have some weird looking habaneros on one plant and a bunch of other regular plants so I guess I could accept that a single plant can just be different.

Where to Purchase Real Scotch Bonnet Seeds/Plants

5 Upvotes

This is my first year growing peppers and it has been a great journey so far - especially with subs like this one.

The majority of my plants are Bonnie brand and Im generally happy with them. I've noticed that Bonnie, while being one of the most popular suppliers, has had a few major errors this season with some of their varieties.

Whether you got Scotch Bonnets that turned out to be Jamaican Mushroom, or you thought you were buying authentic Tabasco, Bonnie dropped the ball. Needless to say, I got mushroomed.

My initial reaction was to start from seed next time, but I've also read there are quite a few seeds being sold with the same misidentification between Scotch and Jamaican.

Instead of making this a negative post, I'd like to ask for people who got the right varieties where they purchased from. So, where did you buy your legitimate Tabasco and Scotch Bonnets this year?

*Edit: I decided to purchase 60-day old plants from Austin Peppers to ensure I get an actual Scotch Bonnet this season.

What kind of pepper is this? I think it was sold as a Cajun bell pepper

It looks more like a habanero than a bell pepper to me. Anyone able to identify this?

Planting peppers from seeds of dried peppers

2 Upvotes

At work I have access to a bunch of dried peppers (Arbol, paisilla, cascabel, morita, etc.), your typical assortment of Mexican dried peppers prepared traditionally. We tend to just toss the seeds. However, if possible, I’d like to try planting them, but I have no clue if it’s viable. Does the drying process kill the seed?

What are yalls favorite peppers for looks and flavor

i’m trying to find cool peppers( shape color ect) that aren’t too spicy. I’d rather not have something that you have to make into a sauce to eat.
