Griffin Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Mr Griffin bought a chilli plant about two months ago. It hasn't got any bigger, the leaves look slightly yellowy and it general just looks a bit pathetic. It's outside in a pot. What should he do to help it along?

Cinnamon Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Mine are all grown from see,in the Greenhouse & thriving really well. The Scotch Bonnets have fruits on them,as do some of the others - nothing on the Death Chillies yet though! Last year they did well on a sunny windowsill - might be worth a try?

Olly Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Mine are in the greenhouse; I'd bring it in and put it somewhere sunny, as suggested. Monty Don was looking at chillies on GW on Friday, and he said they like it really hot, and don't water them after 4 pm as that way they won't be waterlogged. My greenhouse gets watered in the evening because that's when I have time, so I've ignored that bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I have 2 grown from seed - have to say look healthy but small - and no fruits - might bring inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 I'll bring it inside to put in the kitchen window and will cross my fingers. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I planted some seeds in a pair of my YD's bright pink wellies There are only little seedlings currently, but I hope they get big enough to fruit. I think they are cayenne chillies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 I've brought it in and re-potted it into a nice bright pink pot. He'll no doubt be thrilled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
