I planted a couple seeds from the pictured plant that has little peppers on it and the 2 new plants (in 1 pot) have much bigger leaves and are much taller than the original plant which is a few years old. The new plants are only about 2 months old. I know nothing about plants, and I'm curious about what is going on here.  |

| Seeds were probably cross pollinated. Or pepper is a hybrid. 😎😎😎 Anything i say, could be misrepresented, or wrong. |

| Done that too and learnt that SOME peppers doesn't come true from seed and revert back to one of the parent plants that they where original crossed from. |

| Janett is right. An entire ancestry of traits went into producing that seed. Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming...."WOW What a Ride!!" -Mark Frost Webmaster: osnnv.org |
