A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2007 Hot Pepper Identity

This plant has been growing in my house over the winter, it was a gift from a friend's garden. There is one pepper left on the plant from the winter. It is still green, but will ripen a deep, bright red. The skin is semi-thick, and they're hot, sometimes (an other story all together)

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

If I'm judging the size correctly, it looks like an Anaheim. Do they get to be about 8 inches long at maturity?

the peppers have ranged from 2-4 inches.

Here is a link that you may like. It gives great detail about peppers. You may have a capsicum frutescens (chile family made into tabasco) but this will help find the exact cultivar. much digging on your part, tho.

good luck chiles

Hello,

Gee I just joined the gardenhelper because I entered Parade rose wilting in Google, and then I saw all of your messages about the very same roses. My husband gave me one of these tiny bushes for Mother's Day and it was totally gorgeous, but that very day it started wilting. Then I put it in a larger pot and it wilted some more. About 1/2 the plant is a lost cause now, and I am so worried that I'll lose the whole thing! Any follow up advice? Did you save yours?

Thanks for anything you can share that might have helped!

My advise is to prune out any dead parts & to keep it in the shade until it adjusts. Newly potted plants do not like full sun. Also, there is a product called "super-thrive". It is great for saving distressed plants. I use it all the time, ever since it saved 3 metasequoia on my campus.
