Topic: Scotch Bonnet Chillies Not Flowering.

[Denzle]

Hi To All,
                  I have two Scotch Bonnet chilli plants growing in my polytunnel along with other chillies.


     First of all, is this a Scotch Bonnet plant.      It looks nothing like others that I have seen growing. Its just a bush of small leaves and the plants are growing well covering a 3 Ltr pot

Others have a stalk like regular chilli plants.   These seeds were bought off a well known ebay supplier.

I have great success with all my other chillies, but theses two have plenty of leaves but show no sign of flowering after several months growing.    ???

Can anyone help......   

Also, How do I get my picture on here. ? I press image and it comes up as [IMG] [IMG]    ::)  What do I do then.

                                                    Thanks Denzle.

Hello Denzle and welcome to A4A.

I'm growing many different chillies this year but Scotch Bonnet is probably the slowest one of them to flower.  I don't know why this is, maybe someone else will come along with an answer for you.

my Scotch Bonnet is one of the most vigorous chilis i've got - thick stem, big plant. This is it's second year. It didn't flower last year. Maybe that's the problem, or maybe your's wasn't kosher seed.

Hi Denzle,I have been having the same problem lovely vigorous growth no flowers,tried every thing I can ,told it you have one week,after several months of persuasion.Being the wimp I am, as the growth was still good I bunged it on the floor.That was a week ago,tonight I have been into the green house to water and bingo flower buds!!!.Glad I was not the only one.I am going to try cutting it right back in December to see what happens.Good luck with yours,don't know if this helps,but hope it dose.All the best Mitch
