Amazing what something as small as a multi colored chili plant can do.
Thank you!
I think you really need to pay attention to the germinating part, a girl I know grows thing and uses the egg boxes to germinate her seeds in them, then transplants them with no hassle
This sounds like a great method! I'll tell my boyfriend to use egg boxes too. Only one things worries me. Can salmonella contaminate new, little plants? Many eggs in my country are contaminated with this bacteria, so the boxes aren't clean eitherIt can be very tricky, apparently I did a lot things wrong when I tried to grow things from seed in the past. You need to start well, by making sure the seeds you are buying are of a really good quality
I've never seen a peeper like this. They look almost like green peas!We have chilies like these:
We dry them very well, and add the to the pizzas or to other foods, just to add some spice to whatever we are eating. I actually like to add those to the pizzas instead of the pepperoncini ones. Because those small ones are so spicy and nice! Yummy!
Are they very spicy? Adding them to pizza sounds like a great idea. Just thinking of it made me hungry. Usually, I avoid spicy foods, but I'm sure that a pizza with a few peppers like these is yummy

As for the seeds, I can only purchase them online. I hope I won't receive a completely different plant, lol
And you can just bury the little pot in the dirt once you want to plant it a pot... no worries about removing the pot, since the dirt will do its work.
My pleasure Trellum and yes I too love the purple ones too - however they don't stay purple for long - as most of the ornamental pepper and chili varieties start off one color and then as they mature change to varying shades of yellow orange and red - which is what gives them their rainbow effect
However I would just mention - that if hoping to grow these peppers for eating you could be severely disappointed - as the majority of these ornamental pepper and chili pepper plant varieties are grown for their ornamental value rather than for culinary purposes and although the peppers are classed as edible - there are very few people who actually eat them - as they are way hotter than even the hottest culinary pepper and normally extremely bitter.
I'm very picky with my chilies, for some reason I don't like the red or yellow ones... or even the orange ones. I love the green ones tho The only red chilies I ever eat are the dried ones; the smaller the better. Have you seen those plants with very tiny chilies? I wonder if they have a name? The name of the tiny chilies I mean.
