Hello everybody

If i am not wrong, chupetinha (the right name of the pepper) and biquinho are the same pepper.  This pepper is very popular in Brazil and people eat this pepper pickled, chupetinha is a mild pepper.

Hi Luca

I will try to grow rocotos in the middle of december again, when i finish my exams. Now the temperatures are more "low" and the relative humidity is more high and the days are cloudy.

Luca the rocotos grows very well in the Canary Islands. I know one seed suplier that lives in the Canary Islands and he grows rocotos without problems, he said me, his rocotos are very "ugly" on summer but in autumn the rocotos blooms again.

Abçs

Hi Cornell

Yes. I will try to get rockwool cubes in a growshop, here you can not get rockwool cubes in a garden center, lol.

For my seedlings i only use comercial soil. Now i have bought perlite and i am trying to get vermiculite, and i will add to my soil, when i am going to do the seedling for the winter, and i also will use new soil.


Thanks for your advice Cornell

Hi Mac

They have one or two true leaves. The colour of the leaves is normal, green. I begin to add nutrients, when they have one true leaf. They have a "pinched" look and the seedling fall over.

I have the seedling in a mid shadowed place. I use a formula NPK 11-6-4.

Hello

My name is Gonzalo, and i live in the Canary Islands. This is my first year growing many varieties of peppers.

I am trying to grow rocotos now, but i always have the same problem. They begin to grow and later they stop and die.

I sow the rocotos in comercial soil, they germinate without problems, and begin to grow. But a few month later the rocotos "fall" into the seedlings and die.

What could i do?. I am very interested to grow rocotos.

Cheers
Gonzalo
