Good luck with the Thai Dragon mike77.  I couldn't get them to germinate even in a heated propagator.  Maybe a duff batch or a duff gardener tho!

[mike77]

my partner bought me the thai dragon at a plant sale earlier in the year and its currently sat on the living room table looking really healthy and standing about 25-30 inches high with beautiful dark green foliage and its still flowering like mad although not setting fruit just dropping the flowers.
i should add it didn't set many fruits at all only about 5 or 6 even though i've been gently shaking it from time to time and it spent most of the summer outside.
i was tempted to pinch it out to encourage more fruit but decided to leave it to its own devices as it makes such a nice houseplant!
will be keeping a close eye on it over winter and if it looks like its starting to struggle it will get the "haircut" and fingers crossed treatment

[BarriedaleNick]

Im overwintering some for the first time this year so I am eager to see if they make it.
I have been told to mist my chilli plants to encourage fruit setting but have no idea if it helps or not - anyone tried or heard of this?

[asbean]

Each or some of these:

Habanero orange
Tropical heat
Stromboli
Habanero peach
Twilight
Joe's long
Demon red
Tabasco
Fuego
Padron
Hot stuff
Apache
Prairie fire
Tokyo hot
Inferno
Hot Thai
Caayenne
Bulgarian
Iranian

misting the flowers can help fruit set.  ;)

I'm only doing one nerxt year, Pimento de Padron I think it's called. For a Tapas dish fry up a load of them in a little oil then sprinkle with coarse salt.... some are sweet but the occasional one tears your head off which adds to the fun.

How about "Bhut Jolokia" supposedly the worlds hottest chilli   ;)
