The picture isnt to clear to me, maybe its mushrooms? What kind of soil are the peppers planted in? To The Forum |

They look like roots to me  ... like tomato plants will do. Anyone else?"Speak to the Earth and it shall teach Thee" Job 12:8 |

| My vision is not what it used to be, but I also think it is roots. |

| I found a link that says yes, sometimes the adventitious roots do sometimes form on the pepper plants. http://www.darrolshillingburg.... Sunset Zone 28, AHS Heat Zone 9, USDA zone 8b~"Leaf of Faith" |

| Lots of people call these "prop roots." They literally "prop up" the plant. I keep peppers and when I see these, I bury the whole plant just a little deeper. That's usually what the plant wants, which is why it's sending out roots there, for extra stability. Keep going! |
