Very good questions there!
I  think I got an email from you too, sorry that I was too busy to reply just yet...

I have collected cuttings from my Dutch Habanero F1 plant since 2002 and the plants grown from it still produce very prolific and vigorous plants. I'm sure it will still to so for years!

Here's a cutting taken from a Dutch-Habanero motherplant last year:

If you won't kill the plant by drying it, it's possible to grow the chile in a pot as long as it lives.
You must feed it with nutrients at some point,  and repotting is an good idea after a year-two in a same pot.
I transplant my bonchi plants into large plants and move them to the greenhouse for the summers!
I know a guy who as over 30 years old tepin on his yard in US (now nearly 40 years old plant!).
So, who knows...

Even fluorescent tubes are enough to grow the bonchis during the winter.
They might even produces some pods with fluorescent tubes (or fluorescent bulbs).
My mom is growing bonchis on a windowsill  without any artificial light through the year!
They produce yield only during the summertime but still.

I have used very small pots with bonchi growing, you just need to water and feed the plants more often.
Also, varieties with bigger pods doesn't like too small pots.

My mothers rocoto was a little exception as it produced a few pods in a very small pot with only a little soil:

Hope it helps!

Hi, first of all great work with your Bonchi  :) What do you mean with small pots? Do you think, that 13x10x4,5 cm will be enough?

Well it's all up to you and your plants... that sounds quite small, especially for bonchis with a thick stem.

well, my thickest stem has serrano. I think 3-4cm, the others has smaller stems. And I wrote the wrong size of the pot. It is actually 16x12x4,5. I will try it and see.

btw: do you have some experiences with repotting bonchi into big pot in spring and in fall make the bonchi again. Thinking about it because of possibility makubg really huge stem.

Fatalii

Yeah, actually I've doing that again with many plants, I guess it is mentioned on the bonchi article too...

Works great! A perfect way to overwinter chiles!!

The typical cultivated C. annuums might be very difficult to turn into bonchi plants. They die very easily after shock / producing pods etc.

Thats why they were thought to be annual plants for a long time (annuum).

well, I have 3 annuums and hope I will turn them into bonchis sucesfully :)

Just one question more. Is it possible to cut the plant down a let her in ebb&flood system till she makes some foliage and after it give her into bonchis pot? maybe it would be less stressing to do that separatelly. And even maybe faster to make foliage.


Fatalii

Of course!

I've done that several times and it surely helps completing the process!
