Yeah, I’ve made sure to research every nook and cranny of this chili plant of mine and they did say (forums) that they are of the small, ornamental variety so you’re absolutely right on that part. I guess I’ve just been thrown off by the misleading picture that I needed y’all’s reassurance lol.

Yeah, it said to feed it once every two weeks whilst watering them regularly in between, I’ll keep working on this one and probably buy seeds of the same variety and see if there’s any difference, if not, more Chilies for us!

You’re absolutely right, they go great with Pak Kra Pao, though it depends on your spice tolerance, I like mine to be on the more spicier side.

They do look normal to me and healthy so I’m probably doing something right, thank you.

Bad if watermelons what? Sorry I don’t get your comment 😅

So I’m guessing I need to prune a few leaves off? It is a small pot since we haven’t repotted them since buying them from the garden center. But as the other comments have already said, these are ornamental so they’re that size I guess, but I’m willing to try anything and see if they grow somewhat bigger, if not, then I’ll still be happy with it, just would need more chili varieties in the future 👍🏽

Kabayan? Nice seeing one here on Lemmy lol.

Yeah, it is siling labuyo what I was talking about but I just shortened it but yeah you mentioned the same thing 😅 are you talking about turning it into Pinakurat? I love Pinakurat, it’s just sort of hard to get coconut vinegar here in the UK, unless I haven’t been looking hard enough even though there’s an abundance of Asian shops here, probably just lazy on my part hehe. I will definitely moved them to a bigger pot to get their full growing potential next year, can’t wait for that! I can handle most spices to be honest siling labuyo for me could be more spicier imo but people have different spice tolerances that’s true.

The info on the back of the card says to feed it once every two weeks and also to water them regularly when it’s dry and that’s what I’ve been doing most of the time, I was just curious if they were gonna grow any bigger and I was rest assured by your comment and the others that also helped with their comments, that these were of the tiny sized variety. I’ve got a big jug full of the rice water also, it’s nice that you’ve mentioned that also, how has that worked for your plants? I’ve never really used it often to the point that it stunk like you’ve said but come next year I’ll try to use some of that and see what’s up 👍🏽

Thank you for your kind words haha, I’m only just a beginner at this moment but nonetheless I appreciate your support 😅 better late than never! Good luck also with your plants and gardening 😊

Ahh okay! That makes sense then, I’m just wondering why the hell is the picture in the card bigger lol, clickbaited in real life for me 😅 either way they were spicy as heck. Purple and black variant huh, sounds cool! What were they called? Might put that on the list to grow next year…

Tried the Chilies with Pad Kra Pao, was so spicy for such little things.

Guess my research was right then, just needed someone to reassure me hehe, they were spicy when we tried them one time so I guess it’s okay. Yeah, I’ve got scotch bonnets on the list to try next year, I’ll definitely keep your recommends to try too!

Just fat hands on my part, you know what they say “the camera adds 10 pounds”, I AM the ten pounds 🤣 the scissors are small since they’re specifically for pruning I guess? That’s what my sister told me lol

Nice one, sounds like a great idea tbh, maybe also add red onions to it 🤔 always wanted to make pickled stuff so I might as well try with this one 💯 Maybe half parts white vinegar and half parts apple cider, what do you think?

Thank you! I should repot them next year in a bigger pot the next size up than this one, some are just about turning red that’s why I haven’t harvested them yet, need to think about overwintering them soon, kinda nervous I might get it wrong since I’ve literally just started this year with my sister heh so we’re basically beginners here😅

That’s good to hear, peppers are good to grow since we use a lot of it on our cuisines. Hope everything turns and grows alright for you!

Oof, that guy’s chilis became more rounded lol, yeah luckily is the key word here. Still probably taste the same anyway.

Yeah I guess that would make sense also, just need to invest in a greenhouse then maybe 😅

Tbh I could opt for a bit more spice, probably could try growing scotch bonnet next year.

Tbh we haven’t reported them ever since we bought them from the garden center, maybe that’s why but who knows lol, we’ll make sure to repot them and change the soil come next year.

Haha yummy

Iirc we bought these around June July-ish? So probably on the late side, could try to repot them in a bigger pot next year and see if they grow any bigger.

Yeah that’s what I was worried about, but I could always try next year, just gotta overwinter these and see what’s up next year 👍🏽

So kinda like click bait? 😅 All jokes aside though, we tried one and it was really spicy for such a small thing. Read on the back of the card it’s around 100,000 scoville? Whatever that means, but I’m guessing it’s in the middle of the spice chart which means it “does what it says on the tin”.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking too, because we have the same similar variety back in my home country, we call them “labuyo” small but packs quite a punch like you said. Thank you for your reassurance!
