Hi,
I was given a chilli plant as a gift what I thought to be habanero but the berries look quite different. Can anyone help me identify what species this plant belongs to?
Many thanks,
Bobby

Comments (13)-BUMP- What kind of pesticide and for what purpose? Hmm that pot is quite small for a plant with that many peppers on it. I also can't imagine it getting enough light in the UK indoors the way it is, though you clearly have gotten it to produce some peppers. Hopefully, the bump will get someone more knowledgeable than I am to come along and help you. But for me, as a rule, I try not to add insult to injury, LOL. :) If it got drenched for a day, no biggie if it just gets dried again, but then spraying it on top of the soaked soil could have shocked it. Basically, it went from indoor to outdoor to flooding to spraying in 24 hours. It's worrisome that a plant that size has not sucked up that moisture in the soil in a full week......See MoreNeed Help Identifying a Pest on Pepper Plants
Comments (4)Hi Everyone, I appreciate the input. So apparently I wasn't paying enough attention to the weather--we had another heat wave and the plants are heavily wilting in the afternoons. It's hard for me to say if the leaf damage is the result of the heat or the small bug--I'm guessing it's the heat. I'm going to keep watching this and see how things develop. I also looked up our County Extension office and might head over there as well. Thanks again!...See MoreCan someone help me identify this chilli plant please
Comments (10)Yes, they will fruit this year. They are really good value - I grew a few plants last year and have had my own grown dried Chillies all Winter from a few plants. They are way easier than tomatoes. I always grow mine from seed. These aren't Chillies, they're Hungarian Wax peppers from seed. As you can see by the Hoya in the background they are perfectly happy growing in my porch....See MoreChilli plant suddenly drooping! Help!
Comments (1)I am going to assume the pot has drain holes in the bottom of it. But, if you just recently transplanted that plant into that pot, I would have suggested a bigger pot. Right now it is probably OK, but if that plant grows normally, you will probably need to transplant it again by the end of July. Have the peppers been outside at all? What kind of sun do they get? What kind of soil are you using?...See MoreBobby Mackun
