Thai chili pepper variety?
Comments (18)@Leaf i dont work for bakers so i couldnt tell you. I hope not. I support and buy from bakers very often. check this out http://www.garden-of-eatin.com/how-to-avoid-monsanto/ this shows a list of seed suppliers that are know to work with monsanto or one of its subsidiaries , Tomato Growers Supply is one that they suggest you avoid. @DMforcier I am open for the argument that some GM'ed food is needed. The percentages of corn and soy beans that are GE'ed prove this point. Farmers like plants that dont die. However, it should be tested, safe, and properly labeled as such. Me personally, i have no trouble growing corn, i dont need virus and herbicide resistant corn. Those that do need it, are , generally speaking, strictly commercial. Im anti Monsanto due to there actions against other farmers. legal action against seed savers is wrong. Patent protection against plants, bleh. I dont want monsanto knocking on my door because I saved some seed. I also dont want to eat GM food with all the doubts of it being safe. I dont think that without monsanto we would all perish though. thats a bit of a stretch...See MoreGrowing Thai Chili/Bird's Eye Chili Pepper indoor.
Comments (20)It's never a bad idea to answer questions 2 years late lol.... Because others will read the post and learn and it'll answer other peoples questions like mine. This is like a library, future chili growers will read this to learn how to grow hot peppers. This is my first winter with a chili pepper plant indoors. I had my plant planted in ground outdoors and it still had a bunch of peppers and some flowers on them, so I brought them inside and they peppers seem to be ripening. Some peppers have turned from green to red indoors . I'm using an 11W LED grow light. I also put a germinated Scotch bonnet seed and just transferred from paper towel to pot. Once it grows its first true leaves, I'll put the pot with my outdoor chili pepper and lemon trees which are all under the LED light and a medium window....See MoreWhat is wrong with my thai chili plant?
Comments (8)I live in New York City, zone seven. The weather over here has been off. Usually by this time it's nice and hot and plants are blooming. Today it's raining. My plants are getting about six hours of sunlight. They usually thrive in that area where I have always placed them throughout the years. The other side of the garden is is facing south. But I have so much weed going on over there I'm scared to put the pots on that side. I'm waiting for it to get cleaned within the next couple of days and then I will be moving the pots to that side. I've also been badly aphids on my other, pepper plants, but this pepper plant does not have any aphids. I check for aphids every day . I will not give any water to these plants for the next couple days and just see what's going on....See MoreThe plant tag said Thai chili, but...
Comments (16)Not sure about Kung Pao, but the Chile De Arbol grows very spindly branches but the leaves are pretty narrow compared to Japs and many others. Sort of like a Serrano plant if you've ever grown them. And, unlike Kung Paio, I've seen them as starts at many garden centers. Might be similar to the kung pao. Anybody know? Anyhow, it's a very common pepper in Mexican cuisine and one of my favorites. They're versatile in the amount of dishes/salsa/sauces that they're used in, but they're pretty much a "ripen to red and dry" type pepper. Awesome flavor, pretty damn good heat, and very prolific. Here's a classic pic of one loaded down with ripened pods. Kevin Here is a link that might be useful: Chile De Arbol...See Morechile_freak
