Hi
I have been growing some peppers in pots on my roof.
Some from seeds from imported caribbean peppers and some small plants I bought at the farmers' market...

I am confused about some ID. I wish someone could help me ID, as I wonder if the tag was wrong and some seeds sprouted from a mix of seeds.

I bought this as Pequin wild Mexican. is it right?
the leaves are really small so are the peppers

Then I wander if these are Tabasco as I suspect.

I hope someone can help me...
so far my favorites are mostly C chinenses and a Hot Lemon [is it C. baccatum?]
wish I could embed the images from a FB album, anyway these links are accessible even if you do not have an account. the images are one after the other so if you click on the first one you can go easily to the next with a mouse click or cursor arrows

best

Hi
I fell in love with chilies after looking at this site. I live in Brooklyn NY and I have limied space for growing. Fire escape in the summer and 2 southern windows and some shelves with fluorescent tubes.

I bought 5 seedlings at the farmers market. Thai red, Pretty in Purple, Chococolate brown, Peruvian Purple.

I do not have so much space and I like the Bonchi idea.
I was wondering though if I grew these in small pots could they survive and produce a small harvest.
I do not have the room to let them grow 1.5/2 meters aso I was thinking of keeping them in 4 to 8 " pots [10 to 20 cm].

I know the stem would not be to thick but that would not matter much.

anyway do you have any tips?

I would like to keep the plants under 30 / 40 cm tall . should I prune the roots if they fill the pot?

thanks
