I purchased my Thai Giant from Plants Delights last fall. Kept it in the greenhouse all winter. It grew slowly all winter. This spring I put it in the ground. It started growing and later bloomed with seven blooms like fingers. It has seed pods now that are still green. This plant is huge. The leaves are four by five feet and it is eight feet tall. I have never posted a pic on here so I don't know how. If I knew how I would let you see. Anyway, I am very satisfied with mine. Don't know what I am going to do with it this winter. Too large for the greenhouse. Larry

I didn't breed my thai this year. It was seed grown over winter and wanted more size before I set it back breeding it. I will have more seed next year your welcome to some then if you like.. there was no real point in pollinating the diamond head but I had no other flowers open at the time so I just went for it for somthing to do. I threw a few in some compost the other day. If I give them bottom heat they should spring up in a week or so

Congratulations, Aggie. I'm glad you had a second one to play with so it wasn't too disheartening an experience. Hoya seeds are easy to germinate if you plant them right away. There aren't really any tricks to raising them, but it takes a long time for them to reach a mature size. It helps a lot to have a dome over them to keep the soil from drying out, and they will need much stronger light than you expect. I grew mine in the same medium as my adult Hoyas and just like big Hoyas they really loved to grab onto chunks of bark with their roots. Since they were so little, it almost looked like they were mounting themselves.

At 1st I was thinking you maybe have Thai Dragon when you described it, but from the pic ur pods look considerably lighter green than mine are. It's possible they are could be an unfamiliar (to us) variety of Dragon, since he told you that it was a special variety brought over from Thailand. Short of that, your plant & pods look great! I'm sure that like most peppers, yours will ripen to red, but I could be wrong. Please keep us updated!
