20/4/25 - Light watering with tomato feed and also a calcium additive - assuming the earth bed has been washed of nutrients during the past 3 months. Notice leaf curl on the 'Tomohon Market' chillis which can be an indication of calcium depletion.

All 4 survived the 3 month winter relatively unaided. Looking a bit sad and little growth. Also have something chewing the leaves (probably a snail)

Growing well considering winter time. Looking very healthy, watering every 2 weeks or so. Kept outside in open 'Greenhouse Cabinet'.
Wide large leaves compared to the other Capsicums. Lost the single green stem, Have now only 4 but healthy looking !

6/11/24 very light watering using 'tete pipette' but looking great. 4 of the 6 in good shape with large broad leaves. 1 has died and the other is hanging in there with just a bright green stem.

16/10/24 - Potted up into small transparent pots (Indian restaurant T/Away sauce pots with hole drilled in bottom)
Removed from propagator tray as high risk of 'dampening off' while waiting for Seville Oranges to break through.
Very young - seed cap collecting mold has not fallen away on 3, keeping the cotaledens trapped inside. These 3 planted together.
