Hi guys!  I have 1-2 varieties that are having this problem... I'm not sure what it is... I have many other varieties that are thriving under the same conditions.

PI 260560 and Cap220 are the types that are having this problem.  It appears that the NEW growth on these plants is wilted.  A couple photos:





Any ideas?  Too much sun maybe?

V E R Y Nice!  I look forward to getting seeds.  I know this topic is old but it deserves a bump

I think part of my problem was trying out "SuperThrive"  it caused the plant to grow a bunch flowers (well they didn't open but the buds were there).  So back to using biobizz only... I gave it a nice dose yesterday so it should really pick up soon

Not much growth yet... but soon I hope!  I used Akadama in the soil to help it hold water

I will post back when more changes/growth happens

I was wondering what to do about the ugly large branches that were cut

I will have another update soon!  The plant has wilted several times after being moved to the bonchi pot due to lack of water but other than that it's doing great!

New pot and some trimming... now it's really starting to shape up!

Thanks!  Yes the first pot was 5 gallon.  The next one was smaller and now this one is even smaller.  My next pot will be a nice bonsai pot

Some new photos... a few new leaves.  I will do a lot of work to it this weekend

Greetings!

After spending many hours reading on Fatalii.net about bonchi's I started to make my own.  Unfortunately I can't locate many photo's from the "before" process but I did find two.

This was my first year gardening... I grew many things other than peppers... So don't be afraid to try!  It's easier than it seems!

Here is the plant several weeks before being cut down.  I slowly exposed roots by watering near the main stem and brushing away dirt.



Full plant (it was bigger when cut down).  It produced WAY more pods than I needed!



Here is the plant after being cut down the first time.





Next I spent some time cleaning dirt off the top/largest roots.







A week or so later....






And a few days later... I showed the photo's to Fatalii... He recommended it cut the plant down further and reduce the root size with a smaller pot.  After this I got very excited because it's finally starting to take form.

I will update as things progress... I wish I would have documented it better from the beginning
