habanero, not growing much

[Jill]

David R, you're no doubt right about being able to harvest them green, but they're so much more beautiful orange ;)

Swainclubber, I didn't feed until in flower, as Shug has suggested.

thankyou :)

there is much better growth now that it has warmed up a bit, but nothing like the size of that habanero in that forum link!..

7 inches tall now, with some nice little sideshoots :)

i have just seen my first flower bud in the growing tip, its a long way off but its there ;D..

What is the recommended plant pot size for the full size plant? I think the current pot is approx 6inch dia.i will have to measure it tomorrow to make sure.

Try a 9 inch one which should be sufficient.  I found that they were very sensitive to pot size and really appreciated being changed to bigger surroundings earlier than perhaps their size seemed to indicate last year.  Sounds like yours are doing well tho'.  Happy growing.

oh dear. it is in a 7inch pot at the mo
