Thai chili, jalapenos, habaneros, and bell peppers. I built a small garden and I grew numerous peppers. Hello! My name is Chris and I'm new into growing plants. Thank you for all the wonderful information and advice. Should I try repotting again in dry soil? Or just cross my fingers and wait? Also what is the best fertilizer? Because my leaves are becoming pale or is it more likely the 95 degree days? Also my ph is 7.5 how can I get it to 6.5? My reaper plants are about 3 ft tall in 3 gallon containers. We had rains that caused flooding and none of the plants have dried yet. Now my plants seem to be suffering again and I am at a loss. I did my worst and somehow saved them and even got them to produce peppers and to my shock they were hot. We discovered the 3 Reaper plants all had been overwatered. While trying to harden them off and after following repotting instructions many of the 15 various pepper plants he and his father brought home for me. So we purchased young plants just because it was too late for seeds and I have zero experience.
Sorry I don’t recall if I made it something explicit or that was what it is called? Anyway he told me this Reaper is the hottest pepper and asked could I grow them for him. He did the devil’s as%*%\#…or some other word. Try to keep it in this temp range as it will aid growing greatly. This chilli likes temperatures around 80 degrees tops and 60 minimum although the plants wont die below 60 they wont be comfortable and will struggle to grow and fruit. Apply water when neccesary (every two days or so) but dont allow to go dry or sodden, I personaly recommend buying a green house thermometer as it will help you look after you plant. If you are using a pop-up or push together greenhouse then make sure you weight it down and put it somewhere with lots of sun e.g a patio. This chilli is damaged by sudden changes in temperature and will wilt. Put your plant in a green house glass or otherwise your plant needs to go in one eitherway. Cover the bottom of the plant and press (or firm) it in with your thumbs so that your compost is lightly compacted, now water your plant plenty and leave it. Use your other hand to make a hole in your compost and slide the plants roots in. When you have your plants get a small pot and fill it with compost get your plant from the tray making sure not to damage the root and put it in one hand. Allow them to get to a largish size before transplanting to a pot. So all has gone well so far and the seeds have sprouted. If using an incubator place the lid on top and leave in your chosen place otherwise place in your green house.
Place the seeds atop the compost, push them in half way and cover them. For a standard size incubator use four seeds in one incubator. If you have a single seed try to plant it as centraly as possible, if you have multiple seeds space them evenly. Wet the soil through with some water and poor the excess from the receptical away. Get some compost and fill your container to the relevant level (do not use large pots to start with an incubator tray is the perfect size). Prepare your container, makesure there is some drainage in the bottom and sit it a recepticle to catch excess water (especially if on a window sill). The Reapers will need damp soil (NOT SODDEN), I would suggest using a mist gun when watering. You could also grow them in a glass permanant green house provided it is hot enough and has plenty of light however I would NOT recommend trying to grow them from seed in a mini plastic green house as I do not believe they would be ideal. The Carolina reaper needs heat and light when germanating so I would highly suggest starting them in a mini incubator on a window ledge as you will get the most heat and plenty of sun. Now have you bought seeds or have you got a sprouting plant? If you have a sprouting plant skip to step 3
